For years, astronomers have searched for the origins of ultra-high-energy cosmic rays, the most powerful particles in the universe. These energetic travelers move at nearly the speed of light, packing ...

"We would like to understand the difference between these systems, which holds the clue to understand just how many cosmic ...

Opinion High energy neutrinos are the coolest particles in astrophysics. Born in distant cosmic cataclysms, they speed ...

The U.S. Naval Research Laboratory (NRL), in partnership with NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center (MSFC), has developed ...

A strange energy source at the center of the Milky Way may be a new type of dark matter. Scientists found that hydrogen gas ...

Researchers from Los Alamos National Laboratory have discovered that cosmic-ray showers seem to play a pivotal role in ...

However, pinpointing such accelerators remains challenging because their cosmic rays are deflected by magnetic fields as ... to KM3NeT and other neutrino observatories, scientists hope to detect more ...

"It's insane that something is from space can have that kind of an impact on our electronics. So we're thinking, okay, how ...

A mysterious phenomenon at the centre of our galaxy could be the result of a different type of dark matter. Dark matter, the mysterious form of unobserved matter which could make up 85% of the mass of ...

Detecting neutrinos on Earth allows researchers to trace them back to their sources. Understanding where these particles come from could reveal more about the origin of mysterious cosmic rays ...

As per the Big Bang theory, there should be twice as much baryonic matter as scientists can detect. This raises a question—where is the missing half of the universe's ordinary matter? In 2006, NASA ...
