The supermassive black hole sitting at the heart of our galaxy is considered to be a slumbering giant. However, an ...

You can't see, feel, hear, taste or smell them, but tiny particles from space are constantly raining down on us.

The handheld particle detector CosmicWatch is roughly the size of a box of animal crackers. Every time a muon passes through ...

Spencer Axani, assistant professor in the Department of Physics and Astronomy, is the inventor of CosmicWatch, a portable, low-cost particle detector that tracks muons, invisible particles that ...

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.

PD Dr Philipp Girichidis at Heidelberg University’s Centre for Astronomy provide insights into our place in the Milky Way and ...

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 ...

The investigation of cosmic rays and their potential connection with dark matter occupies a central role in contemporary astrophysics. Recent experimental and theoretical advances have refined our ...

(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 ...

Ben may have been right way back when Stan Lee and Jack Kirby created him and the rest of the Fantastic Four 64 years ago, but we know a heck of a lot more about cosmic rays today. Back then, Grimm, ...
