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.

Energetic particles that pop briefly into existence when cosmic rays hit Earth’s atmosphere could help assess hidden damage to buildings in Ukraine after the war ends. In the 1970s, a pioneering ...

National Space Research and Development Agency (NASRDA) says Nigeria becomes the first country in Africa to acquire a cosmic ray muon detector to aid climate change and atmospheric research. Cosmic ...

There is rarely any sunlight in Spencer Axani’s home when he groggily rises from bed to log into his email. Axani is an assistant professor of physics at the University of Delaware, but it’s not ...

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 ...

Georgia State Regents’ Professor of Physics and Astronomy Xiaochun He and his students have developed a detector to measure cosmic rays and investigate how space weather can impact our changing ...

Energetic particles that pop briefly into existence when cosmic rays hit Earth’s atmosphere could help assess hidden damage to buildings in Ukraine after the war ends. These particles — known as muons ...
