A new map offers a new perspective on the city, revealing the steady, ever-present natural radiation emerging from the ground beneath our feet.
(via Sabine Hossenfelder) In the Big Bang Theory, the cosmic microwave background — microwave-range radiation that floats through the entire universe at a steady 2.7 Kelvin — is evidence that a hot ...
Cosmic space is filled with continuous, diffuse high-energy radiation. To find out how this energy is produced, the scientists behind ESA’s Integral gamma-ray observatory have tried an unusual method: ...
Mars is not just a colder, dustier version of Earth. It is a planet soaked in high‑energy particles that batter rock, metal, electronics and human tissue alike. Measurements in deep space and at the ...
The cosmic microwave background (CMB) is radiation that fills the universe almost uniformly—basically the leftover glow from ...
Bell Labs built a giant antenna in Holmdel, New Jersey, in 1960. It was part of a very early satellite transmission system called Echo. By collecting and amplifying weak radio signals bounced off ...
NEW ORLEANS — Astronomers using a NASA space telescope have discovered a region of the sky with a mysterious concentration of some of the universe's highest-energy radiation. The astronomers were ...
