Scientists at Johns Hopkins APL have demonstrated a working capability that can radically accelerate the testing of critical ...

cosmic rays have the power to "bit flip." That's to say cosmic radiation can flip a "1" in a computer program's binary code to "0," or vice versa. That might not seem like much, but computers rely ...

Earth’s magnetic field acts as a protective barrier against the majority of these cosmic rays, and there is a measurable increase in radiation as you gain altitude and enter space. In space ...

The most mysterious of these are ultra-high-energy cosmic rays (UHECRs), which exceed 10¹⁸ electron volts (eV) in energy. These particles: ・Travel at nearly the speed of light ...
