A neutrino from space recently plunged into the Mediterranean Sea with an energy that blows all other known neutrinos out of the water. Packing a punch of some 220 million billion electron volts, this ...
In 1991, an experiment detected the highest-energy cosmic ray ever observed. Later dubbed the Oh-My-God particle, the cosmic ray’s energy shocked astrophysicists. Nothing in our galaxy had the power ...
The 2026 Nobel Prize in Physics has been awarded to Francis Halzen for the detection of "ghost particle" neutrinos from the depths of space by the IceCube observatory at the South Pole.
Francis Halzen Nobel Prize 2026: the Belgian-American physicist who built IceCube, a cubic-kilometer neutrino telescope under ...
Neutrino Energy Group’s Indian division extends its warmest and most respectful congratulations to Professor Francis Halzen, ...
An artist's rendition of the detection of the cosmic ray by the Telescope Array experiment. When high-energy cosmic rays reach Earth's atmosphere, they collide with and break apart atomic nuclei, ...
Some of the most energetic cosmic rays in the galaxy may come from a surprisingly small source. If Max Planck Institute for Astrophysics researcher Laura Olivera-Nieto and her colleagues are right, ...
More than one million sources of energy are featured in the first X-ray images from the eROSITA space telescope. By Laura Baisas Published Feb 5, 2024 12:00 PM EST Add Popular Science (opens in a new ...
Scientists may have finally uncovered the mystery behind ultra-high-energy cosmic rays — the most powerful particles known in the universe. A team from NTNU suggests that colossal winds from ...
Galactic cosmic rays — high-energy particles from outside the solar system — could theoretically power life on certain frigid worlds. The radiation can trigger chemical reactions underground, whose ...
