In 1931, a hoax claimed that Nikola Tesla had created a car powered by a “cosmic energy power receiver,” but was quickly dismissed due to lack of evidence. A young scientist from Ellington ...

LOFAR is a massive radio telescope that comprises 100,000 antennas spread across eight European countries. The researchers ...

Just 500 light years away, the Chamaeleon Complex, and in particular its dark cloud Chamaeleon I, is a hotbed of young, ...

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 ...

Study reveals that high-energy cosmic rays are born in magnetic fields during neutron star mergers, a prelude to black holes.

Understanding Neutrino Energy Technology from Cosmic. Ground was broken in the field of neutrino power in 2015 when two independent scientists, Takaaki Kajita in Japan and Canadian Arthur McDonald ...

In other words, cosmic ray sources accelerate particles gradually, with higher-energy particles being more likely to escape ...

Cosmic cut-off. In searching for the origins of UHECRs, astronomers benefit from a phenomenon called the Greisen-Zatsepin-Kuzmin (GZK) cut-off. This occurs because UHECRs with energies above about 60 ...

Packing a punch of some 220 million billion electron volts, this particle was around 20 times as energetic as the highest energy cosmic neutrinos seen before, researchers report in the Feb. 13 Nature.

Astronomers have discovered a black hole emitting energy in jets longer than the width of 140 Milky Way galaxies. An artist’s concept of Porphyrion, a jet of material 23 million light-years long ...
