AMS releases new cosmic-ray measurements
Fixed to the International Space Station (ISS) as it speeds around Earth, the Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer (AMS) is constantly measuring high-energy particles that stream from across the Universe, known as cosmic rays. In a recent paper published in Physical Review Letters, the AMS Collaboration reports its first measurements of five heavy elements found amongst these particles. Since it was installed on
