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

Cosmic rays, high-energy particles that travel through space, have puzzled scientists for decades. One particular feature of their energy spectrum—the “knee”—has long remained a mystery. Recent ...

When we gaze up at the night sky, we often marvel at the twinkling stars, distant planets, and expansive galaxies. Yet, beyond the visible spectrum lies a more mysterious aspect of the cosmos—cosmic ...

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 ...

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 ...

The 10,000-year-old remnant of a supernova 2,600 light years away is acting like a giant particle accelerator, and it’s flinging cosmic rays out across the galaxy — like the Large Hadron Collider on ...

"You know we haven't done enough research into the effects of cosmic rays!" Ben Grimm, Fantastic Four #1, 1961 Ben may have been right way back when Stan Lee and Jack Kirby created him and the rest of ...

While the San Francisco 49ers and the Baltimore Ravens were butting heads and other body parts a couple of Sundays ago, they were simultaneously taking a whole different type of pounding, though they ...

For decades, researchers assumed cosmic rays are flung into space from supernova. But new research suggests even supernovae are not strong enough to push particles to petaelectronvolts (PeVs). Instead ...
