The space agency's new simulator will study the effects of space radiation on the body -- overcoming the challenges of long-duration spaceflight. Jackson Ryan was CNET's science editor, and a multiple ...

If recent measurements of cosmic ray particles are correct, then we may have the first evidence that the universe as we know it is really a giant computer simulation. Humans have explored the laws of ...

How radiation in space impacts the human body is one of the key questions facing scientists planning for future missions to the Moon and beyond, and NASA now has a powerful new tool to study the ...

Cosmic ray air showers are produced when high-energy cosmic particles enter Earth’s atmosphere and interact with atmospheric nuclei, generating cascades of secondary particles. These extensive air ...

(Nanowerk News) An international research team has developed a computer programme that can simulate the transport of cosmic rays through space. The researchers hope it will help them solve the mystery ...

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 ...
