High-energy particles, known as cosmic rays, provide a window into some of the most extreme environments in the universe.

Scientists have discovered high-energy cosmic rays after over a decade of painstaking data collection that can unlock new avenues about our understanding of the universe regarding cosmic processes ...

Scientists have a problem with cosmic rays—they produce too many muons at the Earth's surface. Cascades of muons are byproducts of high-energy cosmic rays as they collide with nuclei in the ...

H.E.S.S. Observatory finds highest-energy cosmic ray electrons recorded. Discovery points to nearby cosmic accelerators like pulsars, supernovae. Findings reshape understanding of high-energy ...

They’re all capable of emitting charged particles and gamma rays with incredibly high energy levels that often exceed the those produced during nuclear fusion in stars by several orders of magnitude.

Scientists at the HESS observatory in Namibia have found the most energetic cosmic rays ever detected, reaching up to 40 teraelectronvolts. These cosmic rays appear to originate from sources close ...

Abstract: Cosmic rays may cause soft fails in electronic logic or memory. The IBM Journal of Research and Development, Volume 40, No. 1, discussed this complex event in detail. In order to predict ...

In this context, there are objects such as supernova remnants, pulsars, and active galactic nuclei that generate charged particles and gamma rays with energies far exceeding those involved in nuclear ...

Transcribed Dr. Scott Nutter: The science goal of the Helix mission is to measure how big the galaxy is according to a cosmic ray. Now, cosmic ray, the name itself is very suggestive of science ...

Nov. 26, 2024 — Dark ovals in Jupiter's polar haze, visible only at UV wavelengths, were first noticed 25 years ago, then ignored. A new study shows that these dark UV ovals are common ...

Acoustic metamaterials—architected materials that have tailored geometries designed to control the propagation of acoustic or elastic waves through a medium—have been studied extensively ...
