Cosmic Rays Could Help Scientists Study Tornado Formation Through Muon Detection
Cosmic rays and their byproduct, muons, may help scientists study tornado formation by detecting pressure changes remotely. This technique would avoid the need for direct measurements within dangerous storms. Researchers plan to use muon detectors over large areas or portable versions to track severe weather patterns. The findings could enhance und...
