An instrument built to study cosmic rays has turned out to be a powerful tool for investigating thunderstorms. Earlier ...

The usual way to study cosmic rainstorms is by placing hundreds of specialized cameras across several miles of land. Together, these cameras act as one telescope. One of the biggest is the Telescope ...

Three years of radiation data collected on the far side of the moon show that Earth’s magnetic field still reaches the lunar surface, cutting incoming galactic cosmic rays by as much as 20 percent ...

An instrument built half a world away from any meteorological laboratory, designed to catch particles arriving from deep space, has become one of the most powerful tools available for probing the ...

Cosmic photon timing measurements help constrain possible departures from relativity, with no violation detected in the ...

For more than 60 years, physicists have chased one of the universe's most stubborn puzzles: where do the most energetic particles ever detected come from? A new study published May 7, 2026, in ...

The Tibet ASγ Experiment has successfully, for the first time, measured magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) turbulence on scales below one parsec (approximately 3.3 light-years) within the gamma-ray halo ...

BEIJING, 22 September (BelTA - China Daily) - A joint observation by two of China's flagship observatories has traced a 42-light-year-long stream of high-energy particles traveling in a clear ...

Cosmic rays traveling through space may provide enough energy to sustain life even in incredibly cold and dark environments, a new study suggests. The staggeringly energetic neutrino likely came from ...

Every second, particles zip through your body at nearly the speed of light. They rain down from a storm high in the sky, where cosmic rays, a powerful type of interstellar matter, are constantly ...
