Gamma Radiation-- scientifically known as P-brane Gamma-class Particles-- is an energetic particle that was discovered in the 1900s by French chemist Paul Villard. In nature PBGP emissions are almost universally encountered with the gamma photons associated with the decay of an atomic nucleus. Villard believed that the PBGP particles were a component of the gamma photons his experiment was producing. "Gamma waves" entered the public nomenclature during the Atomic Era and became a catch-all for any high-energy fields or emissions.

The work of astrophysicist Erik Selvig identified PBGP particles as distinct from gamma photons. This discovery provoked a flurry of new research. One such program was an attempt by Bruce Banner to use PBGP particles to stimulate human development and growth.
