Energetic particles that pop briefly into existence when cosmic rays hit Earth’s atmosphere could help assess hidden damage to buildings in Ukraine after the war ends. These particles — known ...

These reactions release a massive amount of cosmic radiation—including X-rays and gamma rays—and charged particles that can be harmful for any living organisms.

During her studies of astrophysics, Nojiri became fascinated with cosmic rays, showers of high-energy particles from deep space, and their effects on Earth. Nojiri cites a 2003 Belgian election ...

When DNA is damaged, base pairs can break apart. This causes adjacent bases on the same strand to bond together, meaning they can no longer connect to the bases on the opposite strand.

Cosmic rays are charged particles that travel through space and rain down on Earth constantly. Low-energy cosmic rays can emanate from the sun, but extremely high-energy ones are exceptional.

As the potential for space travel increases, it is necessary to develop methods to protect astronauts from environmental stresses in space. Studying the DNA of baker’s yeast may provide some clues.

Energetic particles that pop briefly into existence when cosmic rays hit Earth’s atmosphere could help assess hidden damage to buildings in Ukraine after the war ends. In the 1970s, a pioneering ...
