Scientists are seeking answers to a new outer space mystery after a telescope in Utah detected the most powerful cosmic ray seen in more than three decades, according to the authors of new ...

Artist’s illustration of the extremely energetic cosmic ray observed by a surface detector array of the Telescope Array experiment, named “Amaterasu particle.” In May 2021, instruments ...

It rivals the single most energetic cosmic ray ever observed, the “Oh-My-God” particle that was detected in 1991, the study found. Cosmic rays are charged particles that travel through space ...

Languages: English, Spanish Researchers have detected an extremely energetic cosmic ray from an unknown source in the universe. The detection of a cosmic ray with such high energy is "exceedingly ...

Researchers recently detected an "ultra-high-energy" cosmic ray, which is the most powerful since the famous "Oh My God" particle was detected in 1991. They have no idea where it came from.

ISOTOPES of carbon, hydrogen and beryllium arising from interactions of primary and secondary cosmic-ray particles with ... Two isotopes of phosphorus due to spallation of atmospheric argon ...

This breakthrough opens new perspectives for cosmic research. It connects major astrophysical phenomena, like short gamma-ray bursts, to the production of rare elements. Future observations could ...

To reach this conclusion, scientists studied millions of data points captured by a cosmic ray detector on the ISS. The most energetic particles in the universe appear to emerge from sources within ...

As Natalie Wolchover cogently explained at Quanta in 2021: A cosmic ray is just an atomic nucleus—a proton or a cluster of protons and neutrons. Yet the rare ones known as “ultrahigh-energy ...

These energy losses are especially significant for the most energetic electrons and positrons, known as cosmic-ray electrons (CRe), whose energy exceeds one teraelectronvolt (TeV) (i.e. 1000 ...

They took cosmic ray data from a giant neutrino observatory in Japan and converted it into sound. That sound became the building blocks for a live performance by a handful of musicians—including ...
