Nearly a fifth of all difficult-to-correct errors in quantum computers are caused by powerful particles from space hitting the machines. While these cosmic ray-induced errors have long been predicted ...

An artist's illustration of the extremely energetic cosmic ray observed by the Telescope Array Collaboration led by the University of Utah and the University of Tokyo. It's been named the "Amaterasu ...

"Cosmic Quantum Ray" is a zany comedy-action-adventure series that brings the strange corners of the universe to the world of Earth teenager Robbie Shipton. Robbie represents Earth as a member of Team ...

Cosmic rays, high-energy particles that travel through space, have puzzled scientists for decades. One particular feature of their energy spectrum—the “knee”—has long remained a mystery. Recent ...

Some search for battle, others are born into it ...

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 ...

Scientists from the Telescope Array Collaboration have detected an ultrahigh-energy cosmic ray, a discovery that’s challenging our current understanding of exotic cosmic phenomena and their origins.

Milestone results released by the Large High Altitude Air Shower Observatory (LHAASO) on November 16 have solved a decades-old mystery about the cosmic ray energy spectrum—which shows a sharp decrease ...

Scientists are seeking answers to a new outer space mystery after a telescope in Utah detected the most powerful cosmic ray seen in more than three decades, according to the authors of new research ...
