What’s a muon? The Earth is under constant bombardment from cosmic rays, most of them being nuclei expelled from supernova explosions. As they collide with nuclei in our atmosphere, pions and ...

Three targets identified at Boundary Zone with anomalous modeled density. Co-incident gravity anomalies strengthen the target ...

But there are still cosmic wonders we don't understand — mysteries that the discovery of a fifth force of nature may help solve. The magnificent muon and its unusual wobble In 2021, physicists ...

He proposed using muons, highly penetrating subatomic particles created when cosmic rays strike Earth’s atmosphere, to search for hidden chambers within one of the pyramids of Giza. These muon ...

Muon tomography functions by detecting the number and arrival direction of sub-atomic particles called ‘muons’ that are generated at a constant rate by the interaction of cosmic rays and the ...

What’s a muon? The Earth is under constant bombardment from cosmic rays, most of them being nuclei expelled from supernova explosions. As they collide with nuclei in our atmosphere, pions and ...

Strings of photodetectors anchored to the seabed off the coast of Sicily have detected the most energetic neutrino ever ...

Cosmic rays can tell us about space and the universe. In the 20th century, cosmic rays helped scientists discover antimatter and the muon—the first evidence for subatomic particles beyond the proton, ...

This 3-D image shows a cosmic-ray muon producing a large shower of energy as it passes through the NOvA far detector in Minnesota. Disclaimer: AAAS and EurekAlert! are not responsible for the ...
