Yes, there is, and unfortunately there isn't a medium that has been invented yet that can take full advantage of gamma radiation wavelengths. Soon!

What is the mass number of a gamma particle?
Gamma rays belong to the electromagnetic spectrum. In frequency and consequent energy the spectrum runs from very very long low energy radio waves up to the highest energy and frequencies which include gamma rays. Somewhere between those very low energies and the highest energies lies the visible light frequencies and energies. You know them as ordinary light. And I suspect you've heard light consists of photons, which are massless. I mention the visible light to point out that gamma rays belong to the same EM spectrum so they too are made of the same stuff that visible light is made of...photons. And photons have no mass; they are massless bits of energy. In short, gamma particles, which are photons, have no mass. ANS.
What happens when a cell wall runs out of water?
You die
What is function mitochondria in cells?
it is the powerhouse of the cell. it runs everything
What does the nucleus do?
The nucleus stores the cell's DNA and RNA. It is the central brain system of the cell. It basically runs the cell's primary processes.
What is a network of thin tissue that runs throughout the cytoplasm and it helps move materials to all the cell parts?
Ribosome
Where does the light go from the sun?
The Sun's light, heat, x-rays, cosmic rays, gamma rays and so forth, all radiate out into space. A very tiny part of this radiation is stopped when it runs into a planet, like Earth, for instance.

What's the most runs scored by Tampa Bay Rays?
At the start of the 2008 season, the Rays team record for most runs scored in a game is 19 against the Yankees in 2006 and the Blue Jays in 2004. The Rays record for most runs scored in an inning is 11 against the Mariners in 2000.
What is the effect of gamma rays on the human body?
A gamma ray is the shortest wavelength and highest energy electromagnetic radiation on the spectrum; it's at the very top. A gamma ray begins moving the instant it is created. And it moves at the speed of light (for the medium in which it is traveling). It continues this way until it "runs into something" and "bounces off" in an event we call scattering. The gamma ray may or may not lose energy in this scattering event. There are different ways it can scatter, but there is also the possibility that this ray, if it has sufficient energy and passes close to an atomic nucleus, will experience what is called pair production. A large chunk of the energy is converted directly in mass to create an electron and a positron (the anti-particle of the electron or antimatter). Another idea is that when the gamma ray passes through any matter, it can give energy to that matter. What happens is dependent on the energy of the ray and what atoms or molecules are present. You probably guessed there would be variables, huh. Atoms can be ionized (the electrons are kicked out of their orbits), or chemical bonds broken by the ionizing radiation. This is a particularly nasty possibility that presents itself because of the extreme energy of the gamma ray. And covalent bonds, the low-energy kind of chemical bond that is so commonly present in living material, can take a beating from gamma rays. That's what makes them so dangerous. Eventually, the gamma ray scatters and loses enough energy to become something less penetrating and harmful. But some matter had to "pay the freight" on the scattering and energy reduction events. You'll find a link below for more information.
How are computers in a hospital?
One use is for X-rays, it runs the hospital basically.
What is the electromagnets?
By analogy with the spectrum of visible light from violet to red, with colours ordered in increasing wavelength, the electromagnetic spectrum is the collection of all types of electromagnetic radiation ordered by increasing wavelength. EM radiation that we can detect runs from ultra-long wavelength radio waves used to communicate with submarines, through long-wave, short-wave, VHF and UHF radio to microwaves, infra-red (heat radiation), visible light, UV, X-rays and gamma rays.
What is the most home runs hit in a single game by the Tampa rays?
15 home run

Carlos Pena of the Tampa Bay Rays led the American League in home runs in 2009 with 39.
