| gamma rays |
Waves of pure energy, similar to x-rays. Gamma rays travel at the speed of light through air or open spaces. Concrete, lead, or steel will block gamma rays.

| gamma ray |
Gamma rays are very high energy electromagnetic radiation, like light or X-rays, but much higher in energy and frequency (and shorter in wavelength). GAMMA RAY BURST Gamma ray bursts are mysterious and powerful astronomical phenomenon that emit short-lived flashes of gamma rays (extremely high-energy radiation). These bursts last only up to a few seconds, occur every day, and come from different parts of the sky.
