Milestone results released by the Large High Altitude Air Shower Observatory (LHAASO) on November 16 have solved a decades-old mystery about the cosmic ray energy spectrum—which shows a sharp decrease ...

Cosmic rays traveling through space may provide enough energy to sustain life even in incredibly cold and dark environments, a new study suggests. The staggeringly energetic neutrino likely came from ...

Cosmic rays, high-energy particles that travel through space, have puzzled scientists for decades. One particular feature of their energy spectrum—the “knee”—has long remained a mystery. Recent ...

Supernovae source Astronomers have found the "smoking gun" that proves supernovae are a source of extremely high-energy cosmic rays. A four-year research program involving scores of scientists, led by ...

LHAASO has uncovered that micro-quasars, black holes feeding on companion stars, are powerful PeV particle accelerators. Their jets produce ultra-high-energy gamma rays and protons that exceed ...

Secondary cosmic rays constitute a research area focused on particles and electromagnetic radiation produced by the interactions of primary cosmic rays with interstellar matter, planetary atmospheres, ...

What mechanism accelerates cosmic rays to the 3 peta-electron-volt (PeV) range — over 1,000 times the energy of the world's most powerful man-made particle accelerators — causing a sharp decline in ...

Cosmic rays reaching earth come from galaxies far beyond the Milky Way, new research says. (AAP) Cosmic rays reaching earth come from other galaxies far outside the Milky Way, new research has ...
