Tens of kilometers above Earth's surface, high-energy particles from outer space constantly strike the atmosphere, creating ...

Fermilab’s Mu2e experiment has reached a critical assembly stage with its 60-ton cosmic-ray veto system in the detector hall, alongside a study accepted for publication reporting test-stand ...

Buried within the Antarctic ice are more than 5,000 light sensors that work together to detect some of the highest energy ...

The Dark Matter Particle Explorer (DAMPE, also known as "Wukong") Collaboration has obtained a high-precision cosmic-ray boron spectrum in the energy range of 10 GeV/n–8 TeV/n, and discovered a ...

The study of cosmic rays, high-energy particles originating from extraterrestrial sources, has significantly progressed with the advent of both ground-based and space-borne detection techniques.

The investigation of cosmic rays and their potential connection with dark matter occupies a central role in contemporary astrophysics. Recent experimental and theoretical advances have refined our ...

As rich ore gets harder to find, the mining industry is using subatomic particles to map rock deep underground ...

Lithium is unique in the cosmos. It’s one of the only elements thought to have at least three cosmic origins: the Big Bang, nuclear reactions in stars, and cosmic ray collisions. Scientists have used ...
