According to a radiation weather expert, a stream of high-energy particles from a supernova explosion may have triggered a sudden loss of altitude on a passenger plane. In late October, a JetBlue ...

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 ...

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 ...

Millions of light-years away, millions of years ago, a star exploded. In this violent process, it ejected incredible amounts ...

Michigan State University astrophysicists are closing in on one of space science’s biggest mysteries: where the galaxy’s most energetic particles come from. Their studies uncovered a pulsar wind ...

An international research team led by scientists from the Technion Faculty of Physics presents a first-of-its-kind measurement of cosmic rays located at the core of the galactic nebula Barnard 68. The ...

Scientists have found a rather unexpected way to get a glimpse of the history of cosmic rays that have bombarded our planet over the ages: by examining volcanic rocks. In a study that was made public ...

Scientists at Curtin University have uncovered a new way to read the deep history of Earth’s landscapes using microscopic zircon crystals from ancient beach sands. These incredibly durable minerals ...

For more than 60 years, physicists have chased one of the universe's most stubborn puzzles: where do the most energetic particles ever detected come from? A new study published May 7, 2026, in ...
