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 ...

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 ...

When you gaze at the mighty Great Pyramid of Giza—sometimes called the Pyramid of Khufu—you’re looking at four and a half millennia of human effort. And in 2017, researchers revealed there’s more than ...

A recent study offers proof of feasibility for using cosmic radiation detectors to discover underground spaces. The detectors identify muons—particles created when cosmic radiation collides with Earth ...

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 ...

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 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 ...

Researchers plan to use advanced technology to search for hidden chambers inside the Maya pyramid, aiming to uncover secrets of Maya life.
