In the latest study, researchers explain how a detector, which they dub a cosmic car radio, could alert scientists when it finds the frequency of the axion. Known as an Axion quasiparticle (AQ ...

Want to see cosmic rays? You might need a lot of expensive ... To test the idea that this is from some external source, he takes a smoke detector with a radioactive sensor and places it near ...

An X-ray observatory used to study neutron stars is “back in the black” and a cosmic ray detector is ready for possible future upgrades after two astronauts completed a spacewalk outside the ...

(One particular cosmic ray, detected in 1991 and nicknamed the “Oh-My-God particle,” was going very nearly the speed of light when it smacked into a detector in Utah.) That there are “hot spots” of ...

Have you ever had an X-ray taken of your bones? Well, so has the Milky Way. NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory regularly images ...

Researchers at the Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory (APL) in Laurel, Maryland, have shown that they have a functional ...
