Cosmic rays are relativistic charged particles that pervade the Galaxy and beyond, carrying crucial information about violent astrophysical processes and influencing the dynamics of interstellar and ...

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 ...

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 ...

Cosmic rays are high-energy particles, chiefly protons and atomic nuclei, that pervade space and strike the Earth’s atmosphere. Detection techniques encompass ground-based air-shower arrays, ...

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

The mysterious source of the highest energy cosmic rays has been found, claim astronomers. They say the rays are probably flung out by retired quasars. Every few weeks a subatomic particle slams into ...

LHAASO has uncovered that micro-quasars, black holes feeding on companion stars, are powerful PeV particle accelerators. Their jets produce ultra-high-energy gamma rays and protons that exceed ...

IceCube has produced the first neutrino image of the Milky Way, revealing high-energy particle activity concentrated along our galaxy’s plane and center. Deep-learning tools let researchers identify ...

The Great Pyramid of Giza has guarded its secrets for some 4,500 years, but a technique borrowed from particle physics has ...

The failure of ghostly subatomic messengers called neutrinos to show up at an Antarctic telescope has knocked down a major astrophysical theory involving some of the most dramatic explosions in the ...
