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 ...

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 ...

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.

may seem strange," Cosmic Ray Extremely Distributed Observatory (CREDO) coordinator Piotr Homola said in a statement. "However, its physical foundations are fully rational." CREDO is an ...

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 ...

New research details the detection of a rare, high-energy cosmic ray by Utah’s Telescope Array, shedding light on the mysteries of cosmic ray origins and behavior. Illustration: Telescope Array ...

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 ...

Want to see cosmic rays? You might need a lot of expensive exotic gear. Nah. [The ActionLab] shows how a cup of coffee or cocoa can show you cosmic rays — or something — with just the right ...

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 ...
