Space radiation can damage satellites − my team discovered that a next-generation material could self-heal when exposed to cosmic rays

The space environment is harsh and full of extreme radiation. Scientists designing spacecraft and satellites need materials that can withstand these conditions. In a paper published in January 2024, my team of materials researchers demonstrated that a next-generation semiconductor material called metal-halide perovskite can actually recover and heal itself from radiation damage. Metal-halide perovskites are […]

NASA’s Fermi space telescope finds a strange supernova with missing gamma rays

While examining a nearby supernova with NASA’s Fermi gamma-ray space telescope, an effort meant to discover how these stellar explosions ignite charged particles called cosmic rays, scientists have uncovered a bigger mystery. The team found the supernova, designated SN 2023ixf, to be completely lacking the gamma-ray emissions that should be present when cosmic ray particles […]

Earth got hammered by cosmic rays 41,000 years ago due to a weak magnetic field

Earth is under constant bombardment by high-energy charged particles called cosmic rays. We’re normally shielded from this barrage by Earth’s magnetic bubble, the magnetosphere. But what happens when this shield weakens? Cosmic rays are primarily hydrogen nuclei blasted into space by powerful celestial events such as the supernova deaths of massive stars. These incredibly energetic […]
