This makes them useful for inferring altitude and depth. How does CosmicWatch detect these muons? The working components of the detector consist of a plastic scintillator, a silicon ...

The neutrino observatory KM3Net is located in the depths of the Mediterranean Sea and measures a cosmic neutrino at the ...

Neutrinos are very mysterious particles,” says Damien Dornic, one of the co-authors of a new paper published February 12 in ...

Ever heard of a muon? I hadn't either until I stumbled upon this awesome project! Now I can detect and count these cosmic particles from my desktop - and you can too. Philadelphia Eagles Throttle ...

Although still under construction, the sea-floor KM3NeT detector spotted a neutrino 20 times more powerful than any ...

In fact, by detecting muons you can get an idea of the shape of underground structures, known as muon tomography. "Like X-rays, which can penetrate the body and allow bone imaging, these ...
