Neutrinos are subatomic particles with no charge and very little mass that are known to weakly interact with other matter in the universe. Due to their weak interactions with other particles, these ...

Lightning is the most spectacular manifestation of atmospheric electricity”, yet its precise trigger has long eluded science.

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP) — Spacewalking astronauts worked to complete repairs to a cosmic ray detector outside the International Space Station on Saturday and give it new life. It was the ...

Cosmic ray detector networks, like the one in Nebraska, can help scientists discover the source and frequency of these high-energy cosmic rays, and maybe answer some questions about the origin of ...

The emulsions, initially, revealed that over 90% of cosmic rays were actually protons, with most of the rest being heavier atomic nuclei, like alpha particles (helium-4 nuclei).

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. — Spacewalking astronauts plugged a leak in a cosmic ray detector outside the International Space Station on Saturday, completing a series of complex repairs to give the ...

In this pre-pandemic photo, UD postdoctoral researcher Alan Coleman stands by one of the Pierre Auger Observatory’s 1,600 cosmic ray detector stations, which are spread out across 1,200 square miles ...

By building and operating your own cosmic ray detector, you can gain hands-on experience with electronics, programming, and data analysis.

Physicist turns smartphones into pocket cosmic ray detectors (Phys.org) —Soon, the growing capability of your smartphone could be harnessed to detect cosmic rays in much the same way as high-end ...

The Milagro detector isn't aimed primarily at investigating cosmic rays, but is instead used for gamma-ray astronomy. When high-energy gamma rays hit our atmosphere they trigger a shower of exotic ...
