Energetic particles that pop briefly into existence when cosmic rays hit Earth ’s atmosphere could help assess hidden damage to buildings in Ukraine after the war ends.

They are birthed from collisions between high-energy protons and atomic nuclei that make up cosmic rays.

Every second, about 10,000 muons rain on a square meter of Earth 's surface.

These odd particles don’t only rain onto the surface, they penetrate into it, burrowing hundreds of feet into the ground.
