Electrons released when cosmic rays strike water-ice can provide energy for microbes and facilitate the formation of complex organic molecules.

Beyond better testing, we need better protection. Physical shields seem like the obvious first defense. Hydrogen-rich ...

How common are Earth-like planets in the universe? When I started working on supernova explosions, I never imagined that my ...

High-energy cosmic rays errors possibly created a soft error, known as a "bit flip," in the onboard avionics of the Airbus ...

The most powerful cosmic-ray electrons and positrons ever detected slamming into Earth's atmosphere carry energies so high they can only have come from relatively close by, new research has revealed.

Milestone results released by the Large High Altitude Air Shower Observatory (LHAASO) on November 16 have solved a decades-old mystery about the cosmic ray energy spectrum—which shows a sharp decrease ...

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 ...

(a)The UHE gamma-ray emission is clearly observed from the W51 complex, which hosts the supernova remnant W51C and star forming region W51B. (b) The “bending” feature around tens TeV indicates the ...

Using naturally occurring muons, researchers are embarking on a non-invasive quest to scan the interior of El Castillo.

The team will deploy muography - a non-invasive imaging technique that harnesses cosmic rays - to search for hidden chambers within El Castillo pyramid at Chichén Itzá, Mexico. The groundbreaking ...
