Efforts to understand the mechanics of tornado formation have taken an innovative turn with the exploration of cosmic rays. These high-energy particles, generated by interactions between cosmic rays and Earth’s atmosphereare being proposed as a tool to remotely measure atmospheric pressure changes within supercell thunderstorms. This method could shed light on the low-pressure regions believed … Read more
Variations in charged particles moving through the heliosphere over an 11-year solar cycle have been identified by researchers analysing data from the Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer (AMS) aboard the International Space Station. Shifts in the heliospheric magnetic field and their impact on particle movement have been examined, with trends observed in antiproton and cosmic nuclei fluxes. … Read more
A neutrino with an energy level never observed before has been detected in the depths of the Mediterranean Sea. The subatomic particlemeasuring an estimated 220 quadrillion electron volts, was recorded by a detector within the Cubic Kilometre Neutrino Telescope (KM3NeT). This discovery marks a significant milestone, as it surpasses previous neutrino detections by nearly 100 … Read more
