Raspberry Pi enthusiasts looking for a more unique project to keep them busy this weekend may be interested in the Raspberry Pi cosmic ray detector project published on YouTube by Marco Reps. Check ...

As GNSS cannot penetrate rock or water, muon technology could be used in future search and rescue efforts, to monitor undersea volcanoes, and guide autonomous vehicles underground and underwater.

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 ...

Researchers have used cosmic rays from deep space to create a powerful probe to investigate the hidden mysteries of the Great Pyramid of Giza. The team, including Fermilab High Energy Physics (HEP) ...

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 ...

Muons tend to scatter more from high-atomic-number materials, so the technique is particularly sensitive to the presence of materials such as uranium. As a result, it has been used to create systems ...

The ruins of the ancient necropolis of Neapolis lie some 10 meters (about 33 feet) below modern-day Naples, Italy. But the site is in a densely populated urban district, making it challenging to ...

The NOvA experiment, best known for its measurements of neutrino oscillations using particle beams from Fermilab accelerators, has been turning its eyes to the skies, examining phenomena ranging from ...

With cutting-edge technologies increasingly available, not every archaeological discovery requires a dig anymore. Instead, researchers have used “non-invasive” scanning techniques that rely on cosmic ...

Superfast, subatomic-sized particles called muons have been used to wirelessly navigate underground in a reportedly world first. By using muon-detecting ground stations synchronized with an ...
