The use of artificial intelligence (AI) scares many people as neural networks, modeled after the human brain, are so complex ...

At first, Zahnle’s cosmic ... radiation could spell trouble for atmospheres. Some scientists suspect that when it comes to shrinking shrouds, high-energy XUV, not total sunlight, is what really ...

Scientists have even sent them into space, where they were shown to survive extreme dehydration and cosmic radiation. One key component of tardigrades' defense systems is a unique damage ...

When these particles slam into Earth’s atmosphere, they create a shower of secondary particles that can reach the surface. Some cosmic rays are so powerful that they can even mess with electronics, ...

Philip Morrison and Guiseppe Cocconi analyzed how two civilizations separated by many light years of space might use electromagnetic radiation to communicate ... At higher frequencies the Earth’s ...

Cosmic rays are high-energy particles stripped of their outer layers and now only consist of nuclei. They travel near the speed of light through space and sometimes hit Earth’s atmosphere.

The James Webb Space Telescope has spotted a 'rogue' cosmic object barrelling through our galaxy without a star, and covered in clouds of iron and magnesium minerals.

Single Event Effects (SEE) caused by high-energy cosmic radiation can disrupt or damage these systems, leading to catastrophic mission failures. DARPA’s Advanced Sources for Single Event Effect ...

Dark energy, the mysterious phenomenon that powers the expansion of the universe, may undergo periodic 'violent transitions' that reverse the growth of the cosmos, a new pre-print study hints.
