Scientists with the Askaryan Radio Array in Antarctica have recorded the first in-ice evidence of radio pulses from cosmic rays, validating a decades-old prediction. The 13 detected events match ...

For almost 60 years, a global ban on nuclear weapons in space has held up. But the growing number of satellites and ...

Cosmic rays are high-energy particles, chiefly protons and atomic nuclei, that pervade space and strike the Earth’s atmosphere. Detection techniques encompass ground-based air-shower arrays, ...

Neutrinos: They have no electric charge, pass through matter like a ghost and are so light they were initially thought to have zero mass. These are just some of the traits that make them so difficult ...

A discovery involving researchers at The University of Hong Kong (HKU) has, for the first time, revealed millisecond pulsations hidden within a powerful cosmic explosion known as a gamma-ray burst ...

Black hole discovery reshaped astrophysics by proving that some of the universe's most powerful objects cannot be seen directly but can be measured through their effects on space and time. Signals ...

The discovery could transform how researchers monitor and forecast solar storms that have harmful effects on satellites, ...

Scientists still don’t know where ghostly particles called neutrinos originate. A distant galaxy could be a potential source.

The Mysterious Glow at the Center of Our Galaxy For years, scientists have marveled at the enigmatic gamma-ray glow emanating from the center of the Milky Way. This persistent radiance has puzzled ...

Located 1,000 meters underground in Japan, the Super-Kamiokande observatory strains to detect the faintest of signals amongst all sorts of noise: ...
