For the first time, an international collaboration of more than 800 scientists has joined forces to track down the sources of ...

A single particle cut through the Mediterranean in February 2023 carrying an almost absurd amount of energy. Detected deep ...

Cosmic rays are one of the greatest challenges for space travel and pose a considerable risk to humans and materials. For the first time on European soil, an international research team in ...

For decades, a sharp kink in the energy spectrum of particles raining down from space has taunted astrophysicists, hinting at powerful engines in our Galaxy but refusing to reveal their identity. Now ...

Under the leadership of Professor Shmuel Bialy, the team used observations from NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope to measure infrared radiation from cosmic rays that had penetrated the giant, cold and ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. Cosmic radiation could be a boon for subsurface life on worlds such as Europa (left), Mars (center) and Enceladus (right), ...

LHAASO has uncovered that micro-quasars, black holes feeding on companion stars, are powerful PeV particle accelerators. Their jets produce ultra-high-energy gamma rays and protons that exceed ...

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 ...

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 ...

In May 2021, an unusually high flux of cosmic rays bombarded Earth. According to a team of astrophysicists from the Raman Research Institute in Bengaluru and the University of Florida in the United ...
