Muography hit the headlines recently as the technique used by a team of researchers to discover that the Great Pyramid of Giza has an extra two chambers than originally thought. Of all the analytical ...

The muon is going mainstream. The particle, a heavy version of the electron that rains down on every square centimetre of Earth, is little known outside particle physics—and last year it helped ...

Scientists use muography to create an internal scan of the Great Pyramid. Scientists used an unprecedented imaging technique called muography to create an internal scan of the Great Pyramid of Giza.

Muography, a technique used to peer inside nuclear reactors and Egyptian pyramids, could help map the innards of the world’s most hazardous volcanoes. By Robin George Andrews The next time the sun is ...

Researchers at the French Alternative Energies and Atomic Energy Commission have used muons - cosmic particles - to remotely and non-invasively create a 3D image of the G2 reactor at Marcoule, France, ...

Scientists using new technology have announced some intriguing new discoveries while peering deep inside the great pyramids of Giza. The results come from the Scan Pyramids group, a collaboration ...

It could be the ultimate archaeological discovery: a previously unknown chamber lurking beneath the stones of the Great Pyramid at Giza in Egypt. Now, a team using a cutting edge imaging technique ...

Muons are elementary particles like electrons, with the same electric charge and spin, but with a greater mass and unstable. They originate from the interactions of cosmic rays with the atoms in the ...

The next time the sun is shining, go outside. There may not be a cloud in the sky, but you will be standing in the middle of a spectral rainstorm. Cosmic rays, emanating from all sorts of high-energy ...
