Muons are unstable subatomic particles that spontaneously and rapidly transform into other particles via a process known as ...

Spencer Axani, assistant professor in the Department of Physics and Astronomy, is the inventor of CosmicWatch, a portable, ...

The handheld particle detector CosmicWatch is roughly the size of a box of animal crackers. Every time a muon passes through ...

You can't see, feel, hear, taste or smell them, but tiny particles from space are constantly raining down on us.

Once a surprise to physicists, these particles are useful tools inside and outside the realm of particle physics.

Earlier this year, an underwater detector in the Mediterranean Sea found the most energetic neutrino to date. And scientists are still talking about it because, well, this discovery could be a really ...

On February 13, 2023, the ARCA detector, part of the neutrino telescope KM3NeT located off the southeast coast of Sicily, recorded a neutrino with an estimated energy of approximately 220 quadrillion ...

The study of cosmic ray anisotropy and magnetic fields lies at the intersection of astrophysics and plasma physics, revealing subtle imprints of the turbulent interstellar medium and the local ...
