Spencer Axani, assistant professor in the Department of Physics and Astronomy, is the inventor of CosmicWatch, a portable, low-cost particle detector that tracks muons, invisible particles that ...
Scientists have managed to recreateplasma “fireballs” in the lab. This experiment, the first of its kind, could finally explain why certain gamma rays from distant galaxies are missing. It turns out ...
Schematics of the all-optical nonlinear Compton scattering experiment showing laser-driven electron acceleration, electron-laser collision, and Compton scattering to produce gamma rays. In a ...
Einstein’s claim that the speed of light is constant has survived more than a century of scrutiny—but scientists are still ...
Particle and nuclear physics evokes evokes images of huge accelerators probing the extremes of matter. But in this round-up ...
sources can be uncertain by as much as a degree so making it difficult to identify their origin. Two of the newly discovered pulsars have positions which coincide within the positional uncertainties ...
A NASA-funded scientist has produced a new type of picture of the Earth from space, which complements the familiar image of our “blue marble”. This new picture is the first detailed image of our ...
The collision of two lightning-bolts-in-the-making spawned an exceedingly brief but extremely energetic flash of gamma rays. This first-of-its-kind observation may help explain an origin of some of ...
