A new class of composites with tunable microstructures offers better shielding from neutron and gamma radiation.

In a recent breakthrough, Dr. Huo Zhipeng and his student Chen Zuoyang from the Hefei Institutes of Physical Science of the ...

Though gold and diamonds are precious materials, they're nowhere near the most expensive thing in the universe. In fact, the ...

Study finds direct link between correlated errors in multiple qubits and the activity of subatomic particles and gamma rays.

Gamma-ray bursts reveal largest structure in the universe is ... bouncing them back and forth within the shock wave. With every bounce, the particle gains more energy. Finally, it gets enough energy ...

A huge detector in the Mediterranean Sea spotted the most energetic neutrino from space to date. The particle could shed light on the universe’s most extreme phenomena.

High-energy neutrinos arise from particle collisions occurring in violent events such as a black hole eating matter or bursts of gamma rays during the explosive deaths of stars.

An artist's impression shows a NASA plane flying over gamma ray-glowing clouds. Thunderstorms are far more radioactive than previously thought, routinely producing a vast array of gamma rays, new ...

Out of those 300, just a few emit gamma rays at high enough energies to make the list of potential PeVatron suspects. G106.3+2.7 has been near the top of that list for more than a decade.

An ultra-high-energy cosmic ray carries tens of millions of times more energy than any human-made particle accelerator such as the Large Hadron Collider, the most powerful accelerator ever built ...
