Step One – Observation of Cosmic Rays
What are cosmic rays?
Particles of various origins (extragalactic, galactic, solar) that continuously hit the Earth.
They are divided into:
- primary (accidents)
- secondary (cascade derivation from the former by interaction with the particles in the atmosphere)
Composed of atomic and subatomic particles, they reach the ground and go beyond the Earth.
But not all elements interact in the same way with cosmic rays, and it is precisely on this principle that is based the new Cosmic Technology.
Live streaming from CERN
Below is a live-stream from the large cloud chamber in Microcosm, showing particle tracks as they appear right now in the exhibition. (Operational during Microcosm opening hours.)
The tracks you see are left by particles from the natural radioactivity present in the soil, rocks, water and air and also the particle showers created by cosmic rays from outer space
Step Two – Data Aquisition & Processing
A practical example of how data collection works
Here you can see a practical example of how the tool works
The research method is based on an appropriate detector that counts cosmic rays in a certain energy band. The tool records all the data received, crossed with GPS position and the collected datas are constantly send to the server for the real time elaboration.
Step Three – Field Validation
Last step, the collected data are confirmed
The collected data are confirmed by the tool
The data collected and processed are confirmed by the teams on the field with suitable equipment.

COSMIC S.R.L., startup innovativa e vincitrice dell’ESA Startup Competition nel 2020, annuncia che il progetto “Cosmic Ray Technology for Water Leaks Detection” è stato selezionato e finanziato nell’ambito del Programma Regionale FESR Veneto 2021-2027 – Azione 1.1.3, ricevendo un contributo di 110.421,43 €.
Il progetto si propone di affrontare una delle sfide più rilevanti della nostra epoca: la gestione sostenibile delle risorse idriche. In Italia, fino al 60% dell’acqua immessa nelle reti idriche viene dispersa a causa di perdite nelle condotte. Grazie alla tecnologia basata sull’analisi dei raggi cosmici e al perfezionamento di un algoritmo proprietario di machine learning integrato con l’intelligenza artificiale, COSMIC è in grado di rilevare in modo tempestivo e accurato le perdite idriche nel sottosuolo, trasformando l’approccio al monitoraggio da reattivo a preventivo.
Questo progetto innovativo si inserisce pienamente nel quadro degli obiettivi internazionali ed europei di sviluppo sostenibile, offrendo una soluzione più economica, precisa e sicura rispetto alle tecnologie esistenti. L’implementazione del contributo FESR consentirà di ottimizzare ulteriormente il sistema, promuovendo l’adozione di pratiche avanzate per la conservazione delle risorse idriche.
