A microquasar belonging to our Milky Way galaxy has set records by generating cosmic rays with energy levels never before ...

As the charged shower propagates faster than the phase velocity of light in the medium, it should emit radiation in a manner analogous to Cherenkov light. However, there are key differences: Cherenkov ...

We have incorporated neutron-absorbing elements in transparent, nonscintillating glasses and used the Cherenkov effect to convert neutron-induced beta-gamma radiation directly into light. Use of the ...

The Cherenkov Telescope Array just got a major boost for distributing its data, a development that will expedite scientific discovery using the observatory.

From the sun's rays to those fancy red light therapy tools you've seen all over TikTok, different wavelengths of light can have a profound effect on your skin.

As these charged particles travel through the atmosphere at speeds greater than the speed of light in air, they emit a faint blue light, called Cherenkov radiation.

In this particle cascade, individual particles produce flashes of light (Cherenkov radiation), which can be observed with specialized large telescopes on the ground. High-energy astronomy thus uses ...

Over a decade, the telescopes scanned the upper atmosphere for faint signs of Cherenkov radiation left in the wake of the fast-moving rays.

SHINE Technologies of the USA says it has demonstrated clearly visible Cherenkov radiation produced by fusion for what is believed to be the first time. Historically, fusion has been demonstrated and ...

The group’s detector design exploits Cherenkov radiation, a phenomenon in which radiation is emitted when charged particles moving faster than light pass through a particular medium, akin to sonic ...
