Astronomers have made a shocking discovery that’s rewriting the way we think about cosmic powerhouses. While scientists ...

Cosmic rays are particles from outer space that travel across the universe. They can be made by the sun, by other stars exploding, and even black holes. They move extremely fast, nearly the speed of ...

An overabundance of antimatter in showers of charged particles that bombard Earth called cosmic rays could reveal the secrets of dark matter, the universe's most mysterious "stuff," a new study ...

Although the calculated beryllium-7 production rates are generally confirmed by measurements, sulphur-35 is roughly six times more abundant in rainfall than predicted by cosmic ray spallation ...

Japanese researchers developed a system based on subatomic particles derived from high-energy cosmic rays to locate a person's position underground, something that existing navigation tools like ...

Want to see cosmic rays? You might need a lot of expensive exotic gear. Nah. [The ActionLab] shows how a cup of coffee or cocoa can show you cosmic rays — or something — with just the right ...

Now, an international group of physicists has proposed a connection between WIMPs and the higher-than-expected flux of antimatter cosmic rays detected by NASA’s Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer (AMS-02) on ...

The Earth's land surface is dominated by sloping landscapes. Every year, soil erosion laterally distributes on the order of 75 Gt of topsoil (Berhe et al. 2007). The coupled biogeochemical cycles ...

As described in an analysis led by Sohyoun Yun-Cárcamo published in The Astrophysical Journal Letters, that data allows the cosmic ray interactions with the PeVatron to be directly studied and ...
