Archaeologists have dated the lakefront Neolithic (7000–3200 b.c.) settlement of Dispilio in northern Greece using a method that involves detecting evidence of bursts of cosmic radiation in ancient ...

BEIJING -- Scientists using China's Large High Altitude Air Shower Observatory (LHAASO) found that black holes, devouring material from their companion stars and producing jets, act as powerful ...

For decades, a sharp kink in the energy spectrum of particles raining down from space has taunted astrophysicists, hinting at ...

In a significant breakthrough, scientists have unraveled the mystery of cosmic rays, linking the ‘knee’ formation in their ...

Milestone results released by the Large High Altitude Air Shower Observatory (LHAASO) on November 16 have solved a decades-old mystery about the cosmic ray energy spectrum—which shows a sharp decrease ...

What mechanism accelerates cosmic rays to the 3 peta-electron-volt (PeV) range — over 1,000 times the energy of the world's most powerful man-made particle accelerators — causing a sharp decline in ...

Ultracold atoms recreate Fermi acceleration in a controllable lab setup Mini Fermi accelerator pushes atoms beyond 0.5 m/s using optical barriers Cold atom accelerator mimics cosmic ray energy spectra ...

We are zeroing in on the true composition of the rarest, highest-energy cosmic rays – which could help reveal their unknown origins. Previous ultra-high-energy cosmic ray detections – by the Pierre ...
