Detecting Ultra-High Energy Cosmic Rays with SmartphonesCosmic rays which encounter the Earth's atmosphere produce showers of muons and high-energy photons, which can be detected using a smartphone camera. The CRAYFIS experiment was devised to observe cosmic rays at ultra-high energy (UHE) using the existing network of smartphones as a ground detector array. We'll describe our custom ...
Marine microbes are responsible for roughly half of the global annual carbon fixation and oxygen production; and yet our methods for directly connecting measurements of chemical fluxes with the activity of specific groups of microbes in the environment are relatively limited. Using multiple experimental approaches; the microbial sources suite of ...
