Elon Musk talks humanity's slow progress toward harnessing cosmic-scale energy and urges ambitious benchmarks for future ...

The rapid acceleration of the universe’s expansion continues to challenge our understanding of fundamental physics. Why the ...

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 just ...

The Auger collaboration, which operates a cosmic ray observatory spanning 3000 km2 (~1158 sq mi) in the Argentine Andes, announces the observation of an unexpected structure in the spectrum ...

In The Fantastic Four: First Steps, Franklin Richards is born with the Power Cosmic, an unlimited energy source linked to Galactus. Reed and Sue’s exposure to cosmic radiation during conception causes ...

Ultrahigh-energy cosmic rays are the most energetic and rarest of particles in the universe – and also one of the most enigmatic. Benjamin Skuse reveals how cosmic-ray mysteries are continuing to test ...

Roughly a century ago, scientists began to realize that some of the radiation we detect in Earth’s atmosphere is not local in origin. This eventually gave rise to the discovery of cosmic rays — ...

Final results from the University of Utah's High Resolution Fly's Eye cosmic ray observatory show that the most energetic particles in the universe rarely reach Earth at full strength because they ...

This may seem like the cry of a panicking news reporter in a lurid sci-fi tale, but it’s actually a scientific fact — albeit a slightly hyperbolic one. Mysterious cosmic rays traveling at speeds ...

Particles smaller than an atom hurtle through the universe nearly at the speed of light, blasted into space from something, somewhere, in the cosmos. A scientific collaboration of the Pierre Auger ...

Ultrahigh-energy cosmic rays twist and turn on their way to Earth, which has made it nearly impossible to identify the colossal monsters that create them. In the 1930s, the French physicist Pierre ...

One of the great mysteries in science is determining not only what's out there, but what creates the signals we detect here on Earth. For over a century, we've known that zipping through the Universe ...
