Cosmic rays are high-energy particles from outer space that strike Earth's atmosphere, generating showers of secondary particles, such as muons, that can reach the planet's surface. In recent years, ...

Scientists have a problem with cosmic rays—they produce too many muons at the Earth's surface. Cascades of muons are byproducts of high-energy cosmic rays as they collide with nuclei in the upper ...

Last month, Egyptian officials revealed the first footage of a hidden corridor inside the 4 500-year-old Great Pyramid of Giza, located on the outskirts of Cairo. Nine metres long and two metres wide, ...

Particles raining down from space offer 3-D views inside swirling tropical storms. Muons created from cosmic rays that smash into Earth’s upper atmosphere have revealed the inner workings of cyclones ...

Georgia State Regents’ Professor of Physics and Astronomy Xiaochun He and his students have developed a detector to measure cosmic rays and investigate how space weather can impact our changing ...

The long-awaited first results from the Muon g-2 experiment at Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory show fundamental particles called muons behaving in a way that is not predicted by scientists’ best ...

GPS is a powerful navigation technology, but it doesn’t work as well inside buildings, underground or underwater. Now engineers in Japan have developed and tested an alternative technology that uses ...

DNA, whose signature double helix structure scored Watson and Crick (and Frankland presumably according to many) a Nobel prize, lies the center of the genetic coding system of life on Earth. Its ...
