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, ...
Energetic particles that pop briefly into existence when cosmic rays hit Earth’s atmosphere could help assess hidden damage to buildings in Ukraine after the war ends. In the 1970s, a pioneering ...
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 ...
Muons tend to scatter more from high-atomic-number materials, so the technique is particularly sensitive to the presence of materials such as uranium. As a result, it has been used to create systems ...
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 ...
Recent discoveries within the Great Pyramid of Giza have reignited theories about its mysterious tunnels and their potential connections to cosmic phenomena. Using advanced technology like muon ...
Every November, students, teachers and scientists worldwide gather virtually to learn about Earth’s cosmic visitors. When Carolin Gnebner decided to pursue physics research, she assumed she’d ...
