COSMIC RAY APP

Cosmic Ray App is a new iOS application that allows users to detect cosmic rays from outer space with nothing but their phone/tablet. The application works by detecting lit pixels in the phone's camera when no light is entering. These pixels are lit as result of cosmic rays, local background radiation, or sometimes just noise... The Cosmic Ray App makes a great education resource for Physics teaching at the grade nine to college level. For instance, start it up at the beginning of a class and then show the findings after 30 mins. It can be used to detect any kind of radiation... Cosmic Ray Collaboration paper cites our solution! We are looking forward to more cooperation in this space.
