Earth must have experienced something exceptional 10 million years ago. Our study of rock samples from the floor of the ...

Scientists have detected the highest-energy "ghost particle" ever seen. The particle, a type of neutrino, arrived at Earth at ...

Trillions upon trillions of cosmic rays hit the Earth every day. The vast majority of them are blocked by Earth’s atmosphere and magnetic field, but sometimes they will strike particles in the ...

A huge detector in the Mediterranean Sea spotted the most energetic neutrino from space to date. The particle could shed light on the universe’s most extreme phenomena.

that cosmic rays strike earth with 50,000,000 or more volts of power. The effect is analogous to a quill being driven through a plank by a tornado. Energies of that vast order are released when in ...

Cosmic rays coming from outside the Solar System bring these particles closer to the Sun, where they experience changes ...

Scientists discover low-mass microquasars can accelerate cosmic rays, reshaping theories on high-energy particle origins.

A deep-sea detector glimpsed a particle with 220 million billion electron volts of energy — around 20 times as energetic as any neutrino seen before.

Physicists have detected the highest-energy 'ghost particle' ever felt on Earth, with nearly 100 times more energy than any ...
