Around 10,000 muons pass through each square meter of Earth’s surface every minute, creating a natural particle shower that researchers are now using to read the interiors of monuments without cutting ...

Scientists at Curtin University have uncovered a new way to read the deep history of Earth’s landscapes using microscopic zircon crystals from ancient beach sands. These incredibly durable minerals ...

A single particle cut through the Mediterranean in February 2023 carrying an almost absurd amount of energy. Detected deep ...

For the first time, the Tibet ASγ Experiment has successfully measured magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) turbulence on scales below one parsec (approximately 3.3 light-years) within the gamma-ray halo ...

Three years ago, in the waters of the Mediterranean Sea, the passage of an "ultra-energetic" cosmic neutrino was observed—the ...

Cosmic voids may seem like the emptiest places in the universe, stripped of matter, radiation, and even dark matter. But they’re far from nothing. Even in these vast empty regions, the fundamental ...

When electronics meet cosmic rays, bad things can happen. Chip makers need to test what their products can withstand, and ...

Volcanic rocks are now revealing cosmic ray history! Scientists propose these ancient rock layers act as natural detectors, recording bombardment over 40,000 years. By analyzing rare isotopes formed ...

Analysis reveals what appears to be a channel of hot, low-density plasma stretching out from our solar system toward distant ...

A space and radiation expert is disagreeing with Airbus’ recent explanation of a flight incident that left at least 15 people injured back in October. On Oct. 30, a JetBlue Airbus A320 aircraft ...

Cosmic voids are different. These vast expanses contain very little matter. In such places, the vacuum of space-time itself becomes the dominant component. If you were positioned at the center of a ...

The reason photographic darkrooms are needed is because almost any amount of light can ruin the film or the photographic paper before they are fixed. Until then these things are generally kept in ...
