The bacteria of the family Desulfobulbaceae are like living electric cables—they can conduct electrons over centimeter-scale distances along their filamentous structures. These electric currents can ...

Astronomers have succeeded for the first time in quantifying the proton and electron components of cosmic rays in a supernova remnant. At least 70% of the very-high-energy gamma rays emitted from ...

While the San Francisco 49ers and the Baltimore Ravens were butting heads and other body parts a couple of Sundays ago, they were simultaneously taking a whole different type of pounding, though they ...

Discovered in 1912, cosmic rays have been studied extensively and our current understanding of them is compiled into what is called the Standard Model. Recently, this understanding has been challenged ...

IN the issue of NATURE for December 19, p. 900, Dr. A. J. Dempster states that he has found that slowly moving protons pass almost freely through helium atoms without being neutralised. In this ...

Continuing a tradition of collaboration between particle physics and medicine, researchers from Northern Illinois University are teaming with physicists from Fermilab and Argonne national laboratories ...

Milestone results released by the Large High Altitude Air Shower Observatory (LHAASO) on November 16 have solved a decades-old mystery about the cosmic ray energy spectrum—which shows a sharp decrease ...

THE physicist has been successfully attacking in the past year the problem which five hundred years ago the alchemist vainly pursued — the transmutation of the elements. The alchemist failed then ...

After a century of mystery, scientists now have the first conclusive evidence that cosmic rays come from the violent aftermaths of exploding stars, researchers say. Cosmic rays strike Earth from every ...

Astronomers have succeeded in quantifying the proton and electron components of cosmic rays in a supernova remnant. At least 70% of the very-high-energy gamma rays emitted from cosmic rays are due to ...
