You can't see, feel, hear, taste or smell them, but tiny particles from space are constantly raining down on us.

Spencer Axani, assistant professor in the Department of Physics and Astronomy, is the inventor of CosmicWatch, a portable, low-cost particle detector that tracks muons, invisible particles that ...

The Large Hadron Collider at CERN is one of the most ambitious undertakings in particle physics. For nearly $5 billion, scientists were able to build a ring of superconducting magnets chilled to ...

New research puts forward compelling new evidence that dark matter interacts with cosmic "ghost particles" called neutrinos.

Ultra-high energy cosmic rays, which emerge in extreme astrophysical environments—like the roiling environments near black holes and neutron stars—have far more energy than the energetic particles ...

New research suggests that these ultra-high energy rays derive their energy from magnetic turbulence. Ultra-high energy cosmic rays, which emerge in extreme astrophysical environments -- like the ...

ISRO’s Cosmic Dust Experiment detects interplanetary particles in orbit, revealing hidden cosmic traffic, advancing India’s ...

Researchers have detected one of the highest-energy particles ever falling to Earth. Cosmic rays are high-energy particles that come from sources in space such as the sun, but this recent detection is ...

The latest observations from Low Earth Orbit with the International Space Station provide further evidence of spectral hardening and softening of cosmic ray particles. The CALorimetric Electron ...

High-energy cosmic rays errors possibly created a soft error, known as a "bit flip," in the onboard avionics of the Airbus ...

Scientists have discovered a previously unidentified nearby source of high-energy cosmic rays. The finding was made with a NASA-funded balloon-borne instrument floating high over Antarctica.
