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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

A recent cosmic discovery reveals a black hole tearing apart one star and hurling its remains at another. This event links ...

high-energy and ultra-high-energy cosmic rays, sources and acceleration mechanisms, and atmospheric muons and neutrinos. Readers are able to master the fundamentals of particle astrophysics within the ...

Earth’s magnetic field acts as a protective barrier against the majority of these cosmic rays, and there is a measurable increase in radiation as you gain altitude and enter space. In space ...
