Gamma radiation is the most energetic form of electromagnetic radiation, encompassing the shortest wavelengths in the electromagnetic spectrum.
The Federation used gamma rays to re-crystallize dilithium, used in a warp core. This energy could be measured by gamma-ray spectrometer.
- Wesley Crusher's sentient nanites could be killed with gamma radiation.
- During a scan of Aldean DNA, Doctor Beverly Crusher was able to confirm that gamma ray exposure was not responsible for the Aldeans' sterility.
- When Doctor Timicin tried to re-vitalize the sun Praxillus, one of the side affects was a seventeen hundred percent rise in gamma radiation levels.
- The Crystalline Entity left behind a trail of antiprotons and gamma radiation. By using a gamma scan, the path of the creature could be detected.
- The Trialan sun gave off gamma bursts shortly before Meridian shifted from one dimension into another. This was an indicator of an anomaly in the sun's nuclear fusion cycle.
