Stars and planets form in cold, dense clouds of gas and dust, where cosmic rays are the dominant source of ionization and heating. Cosmic rays are high-energy particles, including protons, electrons, ...

“It’s very slow, but over billions of years, it’s a very strong effect.” That is the main surprise of the observations of the ...

Where starlight doesn't reach, new things are born: For the first time, an international research team has directly measured ...

You can’t see, feel, hear, taste or smell them, but tiny particles from space are constantly raining down on us. They come from cosmic rays — high-energy particles that can originate from exploding ...

CERN's ALICE collaboration reveals how fragile deuterons survive high-energy collisions, impacting models of cosmic rays and ...

Cosmogenic krypton in zircon crystals reveals millions of years of erosion, sediment transport, and landscape evolution in southern Australia.

Researchers have uncovered a cosmic clock in zircon crystals that records how long sand grains stayed at Earth’s surface.

We show how this "cosmic clock" uncovers the evolution of rivers, coasts and habitats.

A space and radiation expert claims a JetBlue flight incident that left at least 15 people hospitalized may have been caused by "cosmic rays" The statement contradicts an explanation from Airbus, the ...
