yes there is something positive they are used in x rays and radiation. but they are very powerful they can penetrate concrete!

gamma rays can be used to kill insects and bacteria on foods. they are also used to steralize medical equipment. gamma rays also have a tissue penetrating property, making them useful in CT scans!
