    Glossary Gamma Rays

    form of high-energy electromagnetic radiation from atomic nuclei decay

    Gamma rays, also known as γ-rays, are a form of electromagnetic radiation with the highest energy and shortest wavelength in the electromagnetic spectrum. They are produced by the decay of atomic nuclei and are capable of penetrating most materials, making them useful in medical imaging and cancer treatment, but also requiring careful handling due to their potential to cause cellular damage.
