Cairo — A team of archaeologists and other scientists in Egypt have used cutting-edge technology that relies on rays of radiation from space to get a clear picture of a 30-foot-long corridor inside ...

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 ...

Particles raining down from space offer 3-D views inside swirling tropical storms. Muons created from cosmic rays that smash into Earth’s upper atmosphere have revealed the inner workings of cyclones ...

The movements of the Sun, Moon and stars have long been used to keep track of time, and now engineers from the University of Tokyo have proposed a new way to use the cosmos to precisely track time, ...

Muon radiography and tomography are innovative non‐destructive imaging techniques that employ cosmic-ray muons to probe the internal structures of large objects, from ancient monuments to active ...

Superfast, subatomic-sized particles called muons have been used to wirelessly navigate underground in a reportedly world first. By using muon-detecting ground stations synchronized with an ...

A constant shower of subatomic particles rains down from space. A hundred years ago, this “cosmic radiation” was discovered by the Austrian physicist Victor Franz Hess. Among other things, the ...

The handheld particle detector CosmicWatch is roughly the size of a box of animal crackers. Every time a muon passes through ...

GPS is a powerful navigation technology, but it doesn’t work as well inside buildings, underground or underwater. Now engineers in Japan have developed and tested an alternative technology that uses ...
