A group of researchers from the University of California has published a paper regarding the viability of detecting cosmic rays using an array of 'SmartPhones'. I've read before that the digital sensors (photomultipliers?) in most cameras and cell phones detect infrared and, by design, this is filtered out by the camera lens. (EDIT: a filter behind the lens)
Who woulda' thought about cosmic rays? :w
