CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. - Spacewalking astronauts ventured out Friday for the second week in a row to repair a cosmic ray detector, this time actually cutting into the $2 billion instrument.

Muon detectors overcome these limitations, but fall short on speed. While an X-ray detector can scan large trucks in seconds, the muon detector would take minutes, the researchers said.

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. - Spacewalking astronauts installed new pumps on a cosmic ray detector outside the International Space Station on Monday in a bid to extend its scientific life.

The IceCube neutrino detector has allowed researchers to resolve a debate about what types of particles make up ...

Once completed, 500 new detectors will allow the Telescope Array to capture cosmic ray-induced particle showers across 2,900 square kilometers (about 1,120 square miles) — an area nearly the ...

Located outside the town of Banff is the Sulphur Mountain Cosmic Ray Station. This heritage site not only offered scientific ...

This cosmic ray detector network deployment in Sri Lanka was spearheaded by GSU and led by computer scientist and engineer Dr. Ashwin Ashok (Associate Professor, Computer Scientist), nuclear/particle ...

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. - A mammoth cosmic ray detector arrived at the International Space Station on Wednesday, a $2 billion experiment that will search the invisible universe and help explain ...

It's called the Distributed Electronic Cosmic-Ray Observatory (DECO), and unlike the huge, multimillion-dollar particle detectors housed in labs, DECO allows smartphone owners to turn their phone ...
