High-energy cosmic rays errors possibly created a soft error, known as a "bit flip," in the onboard avionics of the Airbus ...

Beyond better testing, we need better protection. Physical shields seem like the obvious first defense. Hydrogen-rich ...

How common are Earth-like planets in the universe? When I started working on supernova explosions, I never imagined that my ...

The most powerful cosmic-ray electrons and positrons ever detected slamming into Earth's atmosphere carry energies so high they can only have come from relatively close by, new research has revealed.

Electrons released when cosmic rays strike water-ice can provide energy for microbes and facilitate the formation of complex organic molecules.

I/ATLAS shows baffling energy and composition that defy cometary physics, sparking scientific scrutiny and debate over its ...

Scientists have recently identified electrons and positrons with the highest energies ever recorded on Earth. They provide evidence of cosmic processes emitting colossal amounts of energy, the origins ...

Using naturally occurring muons, researchers are embarking on a non-invasive quest to scan the interior of El Castillo.
