Researchers at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign developed an instrument to measure the density of the dust that kicks up when spacecraft thrusters interact with planetary surfaces as it ...

To address critical research challenges in heavy-ion collisions at Fermi-energy regimes—specifically targeting the nuclear equation of state (nEoS), Femtoscopic interferometry of light nuclei, and ...

Quantum mechanics is weird. When you think you have reached the bottom of its weirdness, you always discover a new ...

Dark energy -- a mysterious force pushing the universe apart at an ever-increasing rate -- was discovered 26 years ago, and ever since, scientists have been searching for a new and exotic particle ...

Quantum physics tells us about the properties and behaviors of atomic and subatomic particles. But scientists have long held the belief that the rules that govern the microscopic world should also be ...
