Cosmic rays traveling through space may provide enough energy to sustain life even in incredibly cold and dark environments, a new study suggests. The staggeringly energetic neutrino likely came from ...

A mysterious object speeding across the universe might look like a UFO, but the real story is even more fascinating.

Millions of light-years away, millions of years ago, a star exploded. In this violent process, it ejected incredible amounts ...

Michigan State University astrophysicists are closing in on one of space science’s biggest mysteries: where the galaxy’s most energetic particles come from. Their studies uncovered a pulsar wind ...

Scientists studying mysterious ultra-powerful cosmic rays have uncovered a surprising hidden pattern that could finally help explain where these particles come from. Using the DAMPE space telescope, ...

Cosmic rays seen at Earth show a wide range of particle energies, from 10 7 electron-volts (eV) to more than 10 20 eV, the latter being about the same as the kinetic energy of a 450 gram football ...

More than 600 feet below the surface of Antarctica, ultrasensitive detectors picked up the tracks of cosmic rays crashing down from outer space. The Askaryan Radio Array is a group of sensors drilled ...

Cosmic rays (CRs) are energetic particles traveling through space at speeds close to that of light. They consist of atomic nuclei, electrons, positrons, high-energy gamma rays, and neutrinos, and are ...

For more than 60 years, physicists have chased one of the universe's most stubborn puzzles: where do the most energetic particles ever detected come from? A new study published May 7, 2026, in ...
