Scientists may have finally uncovered the mystery behind ultra-high-energy cosmic rays — the most powerful particles known in ...

Could black holes help explain the origins of high-energy cosmic radiation? The universe is filled with many forms of ...

High-energy astrophysics investigates the most energetic processes in the Universe, from the acceleration of charged particles in supernova remnants to the production of ultra-high-energy neutrinos ...

Neutrinos are subatomic particles with no charge and very little mass that are known to weakly interact with other matter in the universe. Due to their weak interactions with other particles, these ...

Scientists using the Telescope Array in Utah detected the second highest-energy cosmic ray ever. The singular subatomic particle was equivalent to dropping a brick on someone’s toe from waist height.

Supermassive black holes are some of the most powerful engines in the universe. These giants sit at the centers of galaxies, including your own Milky Way, and sometimes become active by pulling in ...

Earlier this year, an underwater detector in the Mediterranean Sea found the most energetic neutrino to date. And scientists are still talking about it because, well, this discovery could be a really ...
