Subatomic particles called muons are born from cosmic rays bombarding the atmosphere. Because muons can penetrate objects, scientists are using them to peek inside volcanoes. This technique — called ...

Finding could have applications in acoustic-levitation-assisted 3D printing, mid-air chemical synthesis and micro-robotics ...

NASA's X-ray space telescopes have revealed the "bones" of an enormous cosmic hand. This marks the second "ghostly" apparition to be spotted by NASA this Halloween week. Of course, the structure isn't ...

"If axion clouds, and thereby axions, are discovered, this would be a massive step toward solving the dark matter problem." When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate ...

Nuclear physicists proposed a method to measure the speed of sound characterizing matter created in nuclear collisions. Heavy nuclei consist of hundreds of protons and neutrons (belonging to a group ...

World-class particle-accelerator facilities and recent advances in neutron-star observation give physicists a new toolkit for describing nuclear interactions at a wide range of densities. Michigan ...
