• (6 January 2004) Cosmic Rays made by Gamma-Ray Burst Explosions that Make Black Holes
  Press announcement for a complete theory of cosmic ray origin developed in the paper
  "High Energy Cosmic Rays from Gamma Ray Bursts," by S. D. Wick, C. D. Dermer,
  and A. Atoyan (Astroparticle Physics, in press), and evidence for hadronic acceleration
  from Gamma-ray bursts from observations of GRB 941017, as proposed in a
  new model by C. Dermer and A. Atoyan entitled
  "Neutral Beam Model for the Anomalous gamma-ray Emission Component in GRB 941017,"
  (published in Astronomy and Astrophysics Letters).
  

• (13 August 2003) Biggest Cosmic Explosions May Also Propel Fastest Objects in the Universe
  New Component of γ-Ray Light in Gamma-Ray Bursts, possibly related to Cosmic Ray Hadrons;
  discovery reported in the article "A Gamma Ray Burst with a Separate Higher Energy Emission Component," by
  M. González, B. Dingus, Y. Kuneko, R. Preece, C. D. Dermer, and M. Briggs, Nature 424 (2003) 749-751.
