American space agency NASA is working on a small satellite called StarBurst Multimessenger Pioneer that will be tasked with ...

The study of cosmic rays, high-energy particles originating from extraterrestrial sources, has significantly progressed with the advent of both ground-based and space-borne detection techniques.

The Universe teems with extreme environments, ranging from the very coldest temperatures to the highest energy sources possible. As a consequence, extreme objects such as supernova remnants, pulsars ...

Cosmic rays, consisting predominantly of high-energy protons and nuclei originating from distant astrophysical sources, interact continuously with the solar wind and the heliospheric magnetic fields.

Scientists have recently identified electrons and positrons with the highest energies ever recorded on Earth. They provide evidence of cosmic processes emitting colossal amounts of energy, the origins ...

Georgia State Regents’ Professor of Physics and Astronomy Xiaochun He and his students have developed a detector to measure cosmic rays and investigate how space weather can impact our changing ...

There is a clear statistical correlation between global seismic activity and changes in the intensity of cosmic radiation recorded at the surface of our planet, potentially helping to predict ...

Space has a habit of showing us things before it explains them. We detect signals, objects, and behaviours that are […] ...

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 ...
