So much happened in the earliest moments of the universe. Elementary particles appeared, the first nuclei of hydrogen and ...

The study of cosmic rays and heliospheric physics bridges our understanding of high‐energy particles from distant astrophysical sources and the dynamic environment shaped by the solar wind and ...

While the San Francisco 49ers and the Baltimore Ravens were butting heads and other body parts a couple of Sundays ago, they were simultaneously taking a whole different type of pounding, though they ...

Cosmic rays, predominantly high-energy particles originating from outside the Solar System, interact with Earth’s atmosphere to produce a complex radiation environment. This continuous bombardment ...

At the center of this achievement is the Photoelectric Feedback Discharge model, a complex simulation tool created to describe how lightning arises from the frenzied interaction of fields and ...

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 ...

The traditional astrophysical recipe for life as we know it is quite simple: Get a rocky, gas-shrouded world in a “habitable zone” orbit around a star so that it’s not too hot or too cold. Then just ...

Astronomers from the International Center for Radio Astronomy Research (ICRAR), in collaboration with international teams, have made a startling discovery about a new type of cosmic phenomenon. The ...
