Researchers tracking cosmic-ray particles through the stone of the Great Pyramid of Giza have confirmed a hidden corridor on ...

Researchers have mapped a hidden corridor inside Khufu’s Pyramid, the largest of the Giza complex, using nothing more than ...

An Aramaic inscription found at Zerzevan Castle documents the closure of a Mithras temple. This ancient text provides rare ...

In a muon tomography detector, cosmic-ray muons interact with an object and strike scintillators that emit photons. Wavelength-shifting fibers transmit the photons to photodetectors that digitize the ...

Muon beams can now be created in a device that is the length of a ruler. Researchers at Berkeley Lab presented a foot-long (30 cm) compact laser-plasma accelerator (LPA) that can generate and detect ...

Muons continually bombard the ground at a known rate and angular distribution. As muons lose energy when passing through matter, their flux is attenuated depending on the integrated density along ...

Muon imaging exploits the natural flux of high-energy cosmic-ray muons to probe the internal density structure of large geological and man-made bodies. Two principal approaches are in use: attenuation ...

Australia's bid to detect elusive dark matter has taken a major step forward, with new research confirming that cosmic radiation levels deep inside the Stawell Underground Physics Laboratory (SUPL) ...
