Dark matter, a type of matter that does not emit, absorb, or reflect light, is predicted to account for most of the ...

Known as the Hubble tension, the issue arises from conflicting measurements of how fast the universe is expanding. Now, a new ...

Astronomers have just solved a long-standing mystery about a rare, rapidly spinning neutron star known as PSR J1023+0038.

Roman’s deep, time-lapse survey may reveal a hundred thousand stellar cataclysms, from distant Type Ia supernovae to the self ...

New research published by Michigan State University astrophysicists could help scientists answer a century-old question: Where did galactic cosmic rays come from?

We still don't fully understand what triggers lightning. A new study suggests that showers of cosmic rays may be the missing link.

Scientists with the HESS Observatory have identified the most energetic cosmic electrons ever observed. What could this mean for our understanding of the universe?

Scientists have recently identified electrons and positrons with the highest energies ever recorded on Earth. They provide evidence of cosmic processes emitting colossal amounts of energy, the ...

The abundances of heavy nuclei in the low energy primary cosmic ray flux can be accounted for by the co-existence of two components, one of which has undergone nuclear spallation reactions. The ...

Cosmic ray particles capable of penetrating even the densest buildings or underground structures can provide an essentially foolproof timing system for synchronising high-frequency trades in the ...

A cosmic-ray exposure age is obtained from the measurement of one radioactive and one stable spallation isotope produced in a meteorite by cosmic rays.
