Cosmic rays, born from distant exploding stars, produce muons that shower Earth and penetrate stone like ghosts. These ...

Energetic particles that pop briefly into existence when cosmic rays hit Earth’s atmosphere could help assess hidden damage to buildings in Ukraine after the war ends. These particles — known as muons ...

The Auger collaboration, which operates a cosmic ray observatory spanning 3000 km2 (~1158 sq mi) in the Argentine Andes, announces the observation of an unexpected structure in the spectrum ...

The team will deploy muography - a non-invasive imaging technique that harnesses cosmic rays - to search for hidden chambers within El Castillo pyramid at Chichén Itzá, Mexico. The groundbreaking ...

Muon tomography, or muography, is the practice of using muons generated by cosmic rays interacting with Earth’s atmosphere to image structures on Earth’s surface, akin to producing an X-ray. In lieu ...

Muon radiography and tomography are innovative non‐destructive imaging techniques that employ cosmic-ray muons to probe the internal structures of large objects, from ancient monuments to active ...
