SALT LAKE CITY — On Tuesday, a community of refugee students, their families, scientists and educators celebrated an event three years in the making: the installation of five cosmic ray detectors atop ...

High energy cosmic rays are the most exotic things in the universe. A new way to observe them is to build a radio probe the size of Maryland and use the moon itself as the actual cosmic ray detector.

Recently, there has been several breakthroughs in the study of atmospheric electricity using ground based cosmic ray detectors. The observations reported from these cosmic ray detectors, can lead to a ...

Cosmic rays bombarded the University of Nebraska-Lincoln city campus Thursday afternoon. Sounds serious. No need to worry, though. It happens all the time. Cosmic rays are everywhere. They come from ...

Georgia State Regents’ Professor of Physics and Astronomy Xiaochun He and his students have developed a detector to measure cosmic rays and investigate how space weather can impact our changing ...

ANTARCTICA — Strange radio signals detected by a balloon-borne antenna over Antarctica sparked wild theories about physics-defying particles. Now, the world’s largest cosmic ray detector has delivered ...

Energetic particles that pop briefly into existence when cosmic rays hit Earth’s atmosphere could help assess hidden damage to buildings in Ukraine after the war ends. These particles — known as muons ...

Researchers say they now believe they know more about why cosmic radiation hitting Earth can make our planet shake even more. A team of Polish researchers say they've compiled data in a new study that ...

Cosmic rays, high‐energy particles from extraterrestrial sources, continuously bombard the Earth, providing a natural probe of astrophysical processes. When these particles interact with the ...

For 2.5 years, 57 refugee teens participated in InSPIRE, a program built from the students’ cultures, languages and experiences to bring physics to teenagers and to contribute to a worldwide project ...
