'''Cosmic-Ray Extremely Distributed Observatory (CREDO)''' – scientific project initiated at the end of August 2016 by Polish scientists from [[Instytut Fizyki Jądrowej im. Henryka Niewodniczańskiego PAN|Institute of Nuclear Physics PAN]] in [[Kraków]] (Researchers from the Czech Republic, Slovakia and Hungary also joined the project) whose purpose is the detection of [[cosmic ray]]s 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.<ref>https://arxiv.org/abs/1709.05230</ref><ref>https://indico.ifj.edu.pl/event/182/overview</ref><ref>https://www.ncbj.gov.pl/seminaria/cosmic-ray-extremely-distributed-observatory-novel-astrophysical-potential-and-beyond</ref>
