Welcome to Simply Science, where we uncover complex science in simple terms. In this episode, we dive into muon tomography, a groundbreaking imaging technique that uses cosmic particles to "see" inside massive objects like volcanoes, ancient pyramids, and even nuclear reactors. Unlike traditional X-rays, muon tomography is safe, passive, and ideal for visualizing dense materials. Join us as we explore how scientists harness naturally occurring muons to create 3D images of hidden structures and what this technology could mean for archaeology, geology, and beyond. Tune in to discover the power of cosmic rays right beneath our feet!

Let us know if you’re ready to learn about this cosmic imaging method that’s transforming the way we look at the world—one particle at a time.
