Tens of kilometers above Earth's surface, high-energy particles from outer space constantly strike the atmosphere, creating ...

Radio sensors at South Pole suggest arrays could record neutrinos of unprecedented energies over hundreds of cubic kilometres ...

The ATLAS experiment at CERN has published its first measurements of proton–oxygen collisions, simulating cosmic-ray impacts on Earth's atmosphere. The high-precision results, achieved at a few ...

In the exotic world of particle physics, neutrinos may be the most mysterious members. They rarely interact with other matter ...

A jetliner was nearly knocked out of the sky and sent plummeting to a deadly crash that would have killed all onboard by a bizarre attack from outer space – an explosive burst of cosmic rays sent ...

For a few hours each lunar day, the radiation environment near the moon quietly shifts. Measurements now suggest that parts ...

An unprecedented neutrino detection in the Mediterranean has pushed the boundaries of high-energy astrophysics, raising new ...

You can’t see, feel, hear, taste or smell them, but tiny particles from space are constantly raining down on us. They come from cosmic rays — high-energy particles that can originate from exploding ...

As rich ore gets harder to find, the mining industry is using subatomic particles to map rock deep underground ...

NASA's Artemis I mission takes a selfie of the Orion capsule on its way to the moon. Travel beyond the Earth's atmosphere and magnetic fields involves exposure to high levels of radiation from the sun ...

The reason photographic darkrooms are needed is because almost any amount of light can ruin the film or the photographic paper before they are fixed. Until then these things are generally kept in ...
