For decades, a sharp kink in the energy spectrum of particles raining down from space has taunted astrophysicists, hinting at powerful engines in our Galaxy but refusing to reveal their identity. Now ...

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 ...

LHAASO has uncovered that micro-quasars, black holes feeding on companion stars, are powerful PeV particle accelerators. Their jets produce ultra-high-energy gamma rays and protons that exceed ...

Three years ago, in the waters of the Mediterranean Sea, the passage of an "ultra-energetic" cosmic neutrino was observed—the most energetic ever detected. The event drew international attention from ...

The study of cosmic rays and heliospheric physics bridges our understanding of high‐energy particles from distant astrophysical sources and the dynamic environment shaped by the solar wind and ...

The study of cosmic rays, high-energy particles originating from extraterrestrial sources, has significantly progressed with the advent of both ground-based and space-borne detection techniques.

For the first time, the Tibet ASγ Experiment has successfully measured magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) turbulence on scales below one parsec (approximately 3.3 light-years) within the gamma-ray halo ...

Cosmic rays are one of the greatest challenges for space travel and pose a considerable risk to humans and materials. For the first time on European soil, an international research team in ...
