We still don't fully understand what triggers lightning. A new study suggests that showers of cosmic rays may be the missing ...

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

A star from dozens of lightyears away was to blame for what would soon happen. Cosmic rays from a nearby supernova would soon rain down on the unsuspecting cichlids, tearing apart their DNA ...

So, what could have happened to massless Hawking relics? These particles most likely went into cosmic radiation. It may even be possible to someday detect them in the cosmic microwave background ...

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 ...

our atmosphere and magnetosphere protect us from the damaging radiation of space radiation by serving as a natural shield. Space astronauts are exposed to high levels of cosmic radiation that ...

Japanese researchers developed a system based on subatomic particles derived from high-energy cosmic rays to locate a ... particles in space strike the atmosphere above Earth, muons have been ...

These are cascades of subatomic particles and ionized nuclei produced in the Earth's atmosphere by high-energy particles ("cosmic rays") from both our sun and violent events like supernova ...

Previous attempts to explain this ionisation process had relied on cosmic rays, fast and energetic particles that travel throughout the universe. However, this explanation has faced some ...
