The study of cosmic rays, high-energy particles originating from extraterrestrial sources, has significantly progressed with the advent of both ground-based and space-borne detection techniques.

Cosmic and terrestrial radiation can cause correlated errors in superconducting qubits, disrupting quantum coherence and ...

Scientists have recently identified electrons and positrons with the highest energies ever recorded on Earth. They provide evidence of cosmic processes emitting colossal amounts of energy, the origins ...

Muon beams can now be created in a device that is the length of a ruler.

Scientists have detected gamma rays from the Crab Nebula, the most famous of supernova remnants, using a next-generation telescope that opens the door for astrophysicists to study some of the most ...

Scientists using the Milagro Gamma-ray Observatory in New Mexico have captured evidence of radiation emitted from the plane of our home galaxy at extremely high energies. The researchers detected “TeV ...

Georgia State Regents’ Professor of Physics and Astronomy Xiaochun He and his students have developed a detector to measure cosmic rays and investigate how space weather can impact our changing ...

In many ways, Lina and Neriman's refugee journey from Iraq to Utah parallels that of a cosmic ray: covering great distances, ...

Researchers analyzing pulsar data have found tantalizing hints of ultra-slow gravitational waves. A team from Hirosaki ...

Few particles in the universe are as strange and interesting as the neutrino. These elementary particles have no charge and so little mass that they can usually slip through matter without leaving a ...
