A new study by Rice University physicist Qimiao Si unravels the enigmatic behaviors of quantum critical metals—materials that defy conventional physics at low temperatures. Published in Nature Physics ...

NEW ORLEANS — Astronomers using a NASA space telescope have discovered a region of the sky with a mysterious concentration of some of the universe's highest-energy radiation. The astronomers were ...

The Big Bang theory is supported by the observed expansion of the universe and the cosmic microwave background radiation. The universe's early moments involved a hot, dense state with the formation of ...

Cosmic radiation is what it sounds like: radiation from space. In this article, we explore what it is, why we are protected from it on Earth, how it affects people in specific jobs, and how it can ...

Bell Labs built a giant antenna in Holmdel, New Jersey, in 1960. It was part of a very early satellite transmission system called Echo. By collecting and amplifying weak radio signals bounced off ...

At least for me, the most interesting thing in the popular superhero TV show WandaVision is the brief mention of the cosmic microwave background (CMB). It happens in Episode Four, "We Interrupt This ...

Astronomers have found a new and original method for measuring the cosmic microwave background's temperature when the Universe was still in its infancy. They confirm in their new study the early ...

Scientists have taken another step toward understanding dark energy by peering through a cosmic cloud of water vapor billions of light-years away from Earth. Dark energy is the name given to the ...

A Cisco bug report addressing “partial data traffic loss” on the company’s ASR 9000 Series routers contends that a “possible trigger is cosmic radiation causing SEU soft errors.” Cosmic radiation?
