Cosmic photon timing measurements help constrain possible departures from relativity, with no violation detected in the ...

An instrument built to study cosmic rays has turned out to be a powerful tool for investigating thunderstorms. Earlier ...

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 ...

Proton-oxygen collisions at the LHC reveal how extreme cosmic rays trigger particle showers when they slam into Earth’s atmosphere.

On Earth, the Large Hadron Collider can smash atoms together and accelerate particles to near light speeds — but in space, there are high-energy cosmic rays with over 10 million times more power than ...

On July 4, 2025, astronomers watched a cosmic explosion do something it was not supposed to do. The event began with a ...

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

Scientists have recreated how high-energy cosmic rays enter the Earth’s atmosphere and collide with our planet’s gases.

Where starlight doesn't reach, new things are born: For the first time, an international research team has directly measured the effect of cosmic radiation in a cold molecular cloud. The observation ...

The usual way to study cosmic rainstorms is by placing hundreds of specialized cameras across several miles of land. Together, these cameras act as one telescope. One of the biggest is the Telescope ...
