'''Cosmic-Ray Extremely Distributed Observatory (CREDO)''' – scientific project initiated at the end of August 2016 by [[Poles|Polish]] scientists from [[Instytut_Fizyki_Jądrowej_im._Henryka_Niewodniczańskiego_PAN|Institute of Nuclear Physics PAN]] in [[kraków|Kraków]], whose purpose is the detection of cosmic rays and the search for dark matter.<ref>https://credo.science/credo-read-more/ </ref> Its aim is to involve as many people as possible in the construction of a global system of cosmic ray detectors, thanks to which it will be possible to examine the essence of dark matter. Thanks to a photosensitive sensor and a GPS module, a smartphone works perfectly as a detector that reaches particles from space.

== Application credo ==

Just install [https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=science.credo.credomobiledetektor free application], connect the phone to the charger and arrange it horizontally, for example, put on a table or bedside cabinet. The phone will automatically send the collected data to the application servers.
