exploration efficiency

Exploding stars send cosmic rays to Earth and now explorers are using them to see deep underground, reduce drilling, and uncover hidden mineral riches

In a world-first approach that sounds more like science fiction than geoscience, Ideon Technologies is leading a charge to reduce geological guesswork in mineral exploration using cosmic rays generated by exploding stars.
