Muon Imaging

Muon imaging is a technique that uses natural high-energy particles called muons, which constantly pass through the Earth's atmosphere and surface. As muons travel through materials like rock or concrete, they lose energy, and some are absorbed depending on the density and thickness of the object. By detecting muons on the other side, we can create detailed 3D images of what’s inside structures such as volcanoes, pyramids, or industrial installations. This non-invasive method helps scientists and engineers analyze internal features safely and accurately, offering insights into hidden spaces or density variations without excavation or destruction.
