As graduate students consider their post-academic options, their preferences for where they want to live have significant implications for communities and states across the country. Despite advice to be open to moving, many graduate students have strong feelings about where they want to settle, and their choices are influenced by
Gamma rays
A remarkable event has been captured by researchers in Japan, where a lightning collision produced a gamma-ray burst, a high-energy emission typically observed from cosmic phenomena. The study published in Science Advances outlines how a sophisticated array of sensors recorded a terrestrial gamma-ray flash (TGF) triggered by a lightning collision
