Scientists at MIT have designed a pocket-sized muon detector that can be easily made with common electrical parts, meaning anyone can kit themselves out with legitimately-functional Ghostbusters-esque gear for less than $ 100. The device detects the charged particles — muons — that come from the high-energy cosmic rays blasted from supernovae beyond the solar […]
