Yes, but not to any usable amount. The amount of energy that comes from gamma rays bursts are, by the time they reach here, quite small. The INTENSITY of the bursts may be large, but they don't last very long. Also, they come from outside our galaxy, so they have lost most of their energy by the time they get to us. And the direction they arrive from is impossible to predict, so any collector would be impossible to aim for maximum efficiency.
If a ten meter by ten meter collector was 100% efficient in converting gamma ray energy into electricity, and was able to collect enough energy from gamma rays to power a 100 watt light bulb for ten minutes; the amount of gamma ray energy hitting our Earth would kill all humanity in less than a week. In a sense, it is a blessing that there is not a lot of gamma ray energy reaching us!

What is energy released from stars?
The energy from stars are trasmitted via electomagnetic waves. The most common one being visible light. Others include infra-red (heat waves), UV, and dangerous gamma-rays. These waves can travel in a vacuum (space).
Were there gamma rays in the singularity that gave rise to the big bang?
No; there would be no stars to produce the gamma rays.
How would you compare and contrast X-ray bursts and gamma ray bursts?
If we consider the bursts of high energy electromagnetic radiation from stellar or galactic sources, we encounter bursts of X-rays and gamma rays. The two are similar in that both are examples of high energy electromagnetic energy, and both can be generated by certain stars or galaxies. Additionally, both are the result of nuclear reactions in the star or at sites within the galaxy. But with gamma rays, the sources may be fewer than with X-rays, and the gamma rays are higher in energy than the X-rays.
Do Gamma ray burst form a black hole?
In an indirect way, yes. Gama rays are the highest-intensity form of electromagnetic energy. They usually indicate a very power energy source. Most black holes are formed by exploding stars called supernovas. These events can be detected as gamma ray bursts.
What are two possible causes of gamma ray bursts?
neutron stars and black holes
Can light from stars be turned into energy?
Light from the stars is energy. However, the amount of energy that this light accounts for is too small to be of any use.

What is a gamma-ray burst, and how does it happen?
It happens when two gamma rays come from different stars and collide and make a big explosion . A gamma ray burst is when two gamma rays come from different stars and collide and make a big explosion. BOOM
What electromagnetic wave is found in space or nuclear explosions?
Gamma rays. These high energy electromagnetic waves are given of in nuclear reactions (including those in stars)
Were there gamma rays in the singularity that gave rise to the big bang?
No; there would be no stars to produce the gamma rays.

How do you use gamma rays?
It shows us the stars and galaxies.
What are the names of the stars in the crux constellation?
Alpha, beta, gamma, and delta.

What was the day the matariki turned into stars?
They turn into stars when they had
What type of light does the star gamma emit?
It was the astronomer Bayer who started a system of naming stars using the Greek alphabet, which is alpha, beta, gamma, delta etc. Gamma is used for the third-brightest star in each constellation, so there are plenty of stars called gamma The stars in the Great Bear are alpha, beta, gamma, delta, epsilon, zeta, eta Ursae Majoris (that's counting from the right when it's under the pole star, in the early evening in November in the N hemisphere).
