A detector buried deep in Antarctic ice has captured the first experimental evidence of a predicted but never-before-seen ...

Supermassive black holes are some of the most powerful engines in the universe. These giants sit at the centers of galaxies, including your own Milky Way, and sometimes become active by pulling in ...

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 ...

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, ...

Cosmic rays, high‐energy particles from extraterrestrial sources, continuously bombard the Earth, providing a natural probe of astrophysical processes. When these particles interact with the ...

The investigation of cosmic rays and their potential connection with dark matter occupies a central role in contemporary astrophysics. Recent experimental and theoretical advances have refined our ...

Milestone results released by the Large High Altitude Air Shower Observatory (LHAASO) on November 16 have solved a decades-old mystery about the cosmic ray energy spectrum—which shows a sharp decrease ...
