Gaurang Bhaskar Yodh's early work on cosmic rays and neutrino detection intersected with Francis Halzen's path to IceCube.

Francis Halzen Nobel Prize 2026: the Belgian-American physicist who built IceCube, a cubic-kilometer neutrino telescope under ...

Every second, particles zip through your body at nearly the speed of light. They rain down from a storm high in the sky, where cosmic rays, a powerful type of interstellar matter, are constantly ...

A joint observation by two of China's flagship observatories has traced a 42-light-year-long stream of high-energy particles traveling in a clear direction through interstellar space, providing strong ...

An instrument built half a world away from any meteorological laboratory, designed to catch particles arriving from deep space, has become one of the most powerful tools available for probing the ...

This discovery suggests that there are many binary systems producing energetic ultraviolet radiation that have remained ...

Cosmic rays are made primarily of protons with a few electrons sprinkled in, and they can reach energies even higher than what human-made accelerators can produce. Considering human-made accelerators, ...

BEIJING, Sept. 21 (Xinhua) -- By combining data from a satellite and a ground-based observatory, Chinese scientists have discovered an X-ray trail stretching 42 light-years across the cosmos. This ...

A University of Hawaiʻi-led research network that helps scientists monitor space weather and cosmic rays has received a nearly $1 million award from the U.S. National Science Foundation. The Simpson ...

The mysterious Amaterasu particle may not be a proton at all. New research suggests that some of the most extreme cosmic rays could be ultraheavy atomic nuclei, heavier than iron, which are better ...

Cosmic rays seen at Earth show a wide range of particle energies, from 10 7 electron-volts (eV) to more than 10 20 eV, the latter being about the same as the kinetic energy of a 450 gram football ...

Artists’ impression of the white dwarf binary ASKAP J1745-5051. The smaller, dense white dwarf star is accreting material from the larger, but less dense red dwarf star. The interaction of their ...
