Radioactive Traces in Tree Rings Reveal Earth’s History of Unexplained ‘Radiation Storms’

In searching for planets and studying their stars, I’ve had the privilege of using some of the world’s great telescopes. However, our team has recently turned to an even larger system to study the cosmos: Earth’s forests. We analyzed radioactive signatures left in tree rings around the world to study mysterious “radiation storms” that have […]
