There is rarely any sunlight in Spencer Axani’s home when he groggily rises from bed to log into his email. Axani is an assistant professor of physics at the University of Delaware, but it’s not ...

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 ...

Archaeologists and physicists have achieved a breakthrough in historical exploration by using cosmic-ray muons to map ...

GPS is now a mainstay of daily life, helping us with navigation, tracking, mapping, and timing across a broad spectrum of applications. But it does have a few shortcomings, most notably not being able ...

When you gaze at the mighty Great Pyramid of Giza—sometimes called the Pyramid of Khufu—you’re looking at four and a half millennia of human effort. And in 2017, researchers revealed there’s more than ...
