In the stone mass of the Great Pyramid, a corridor about 9 meters long was outlined not by drills or demolition, but by particles raining down from space. Later confirmed with radar, ultrasound, and ...

The most energetic particles in the universe – ultrahigh-energy cosmic rays – likely come from supermassive black holes in the hearts of nearby active galaxies, says a study by scientists from nearly ...

New research published by Michigan State University astrophysicists could help scientists answer a century-old question: Where did galactic cosmic rays come from? Cosmic rays—high-energy particles ...

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 ...

The windy and chaotic remains surrounding recently exploded stars may be launching the fastest particles in the universe. Highly magnetic neutron stars known as pulsars whip up a fast and strong ...

A complete survey of all the particle and antiparticle activity that goes on during the Sun’s 11-year cycle has found previously unknown ways these particles behave. Cosmic rays coming from outside ...

Illustration of an array of ground-based detectors to characterize a cosmic ray shower. When high-energy cosmic particles strike the atmosphere, they produce a cascade of particles. By building a ...

Researchers have used cosmic rays from deep space to create a powerful probe to investigate the hidden mysteries of the Great Pyramid of Giza. The team, including Fermilab High Energy Physics (HEP) ...
