Scientists have found nuclear weapons could actually help deflect an incoming cosmic impact — not by blowing an asteroid up, ...

Helga and Zohar, designed to represent human female bodies, were in the Orion capsule as stand-ins for astronauts, with built ...

A new study in Physical Review Letters offers the first detection of the cross-correlation between cosmic shear and diffuse X ...

Astronomers have cataloged over 500 gamma-ray bursts, which are some of the most violent explosions in the cosmos.

The Large High Altitude Air Shower Observatory (LHAASO) officially released the precise measurements of high-energy gamma radiation from the W51 complex, confirming it as a cosmic-ray accelerator ...

The concept was tested using Sandia's Z Machine, the most powerful X-ray source on Earth. By generating a burst of X-rays similar to those from a nuclear explosion, researchers were able to simulate ...

The IceCube collaboration detected high-energy neutrinos, considered a milestone in astrophysics, back in 2013. These kinds ...

The latest results on the composition of cosmic rays, and their theoretical implications, were discussed at a conference held in Cambridge during July 16–19. They point to a thermonuclear origin ...

An international team has cataloged over 500 gamma-ray bursts (GRBs), rivaling the historical deep-sky catalog by Charles ...

Detectors inside Artemis I’s Orion capsule show how much radiation exposure its mannequins underwent and how effective a ...

NASA's BurstCube detects its first gamma-ray burst, marking a key milestone in the study of powerful cosmic explosions.

Pomerantz Chair of Physics and Astronomy at UD. “I think you could call it a scientific research boutique — small and very successful, particularly in the cosmic ray area, and world-renowned.” The ...
