The PAMELA experiment: light-nuclei selection with stand-alone detectors

open access: yes, 2013
Launched on the 15th of June 2006, the space experiment PAMELA is providing data showing interesting features in cosmic rays that might change our basic vision of the mechanisms of production, acceleration and propagation of cosmic rays in the galaxy. In

Cosmic ray sources and detectors

open access: yesThe European Physical Journal Special Topics
Abstract The origin of cosmic rays has remained an enduring mystery in astrophysics since their discovery by Victor Hess in 1912. However, extensive studies on the energy spectrum, mass composition, and angular distributions of cosmic rays have been conducted through both space-based and ground-based experiments.

From Flybys to Sample Return: A Review of Space Probes and Robotic Sampling Technologies for Small Bodies

open access: yesJournal of Field Robotics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT As a crucial puzzle piece of deep space exploration, exploring small bodies can provide significant scientific insights and valuable mineral resources. Unlike missions to the Moon and Mars, small‐body missions pose distinct technical challenges, including communication delays, weak gravity, and uncertain environments. This paper reviews a full

Embodied, Enacted, and Multimodal: Exploring Science Teachers’ Metaphors in Authentic Classroom Contexts

open access: yesScience Education, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Over the past decades, science education research has extensively examined the role of metaphors in teaching and learning science. However, much of the existing research has focused on verbal manifestations of metaphors, thereby overlooking aspects of metaphors that may occur in non‐verbal form. This study reconceptualises metaphors as dynamic

Gamma ray astronomy in the low energy range

open access: yes, 1979
A low energy gamma ray telescope, and the results of its observations are described. The telescope consisted of four sodium iodide crystals, each of 120 cm2 area, occulted by lead discs.

A new modular cosmic-ray detector

open access: yesAstrophysics and Space Sciences Transactions, 2011
Comparing the mean features of helium proportional counters with the ones of the standard boron trifluoride tubes, it appears at glance that, in equal term of efficiency and for the same active length, the 3He filled counters are characterized by a very smaller diameter which optimizes their spectral resolution and minimizes wall effects.

100 Years of Element Zero: Andreas von Antropoff's Neutronium and the Naming of the Neutron

open access: yesZeitschrift für anorganische und allgemeine Chemie, EarlyView.
Congratulations to the 100th Anniversary of the publication of Andreas von Antropoff's element 0, “–“! This contribution provides a historical account of the concept of element zero and the naming of the neutron. The concept of element zero is 100 years old, having a first documented appearance in a 1926 publication by Andreas von Antropoff, while the ...

Cosmic-Ray Flux Correlation between MCMU and JBGO Neutron Monitors

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
Neutron monitors (NMs) are large ground-based detectors of atmospheric secondary particles, mostly neutrons, from primary cosmic rays. Their sky direction and rigidity imply a well-defined incoming (asymptotic) direction in space.

From talking tools to metahumans: social interaction, semiotic skill, and the authority of AI chatbots Des outils parlants aux métahumains : interactions sociales, compétences sémiotiques et autorité des robots conversationnels

open access: yesJournal of the Royal Anthropological Institute, EarlyView.
What does it take to turn a tool into a talking tool and that into an ultimate authority? Generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) in its diverse forms, such as large language models (LLMs), is celebrated as a useful tool. But LLM‐based conversational agents, or chatbots, the software applications through which ordinary users are likely to engage ...
