Re-analyzing LHC Run 2 data with cutting-edge analysis techniques allowed physicists to address old discrepancy
Supersymmetry (SUSY) is an exciting and beautiful theory that answers some of the open questions in particle physics. It predicts that all known particles have a "superpartner" with somewhat different properties. For example, the heaviest quark of th.....»»
Wind tunnel study shows hypersonic jet engine flow can be controlled optically
What if the future of space travel were to look less like Space-X's rocket-based Starship and more like NASA's "Hyper-X," the hypersonic jet plane that, 20 years ago this year, flew faster than any other aircraft before or since?.....»»
Mycotecture off planet: En route to the moon and Mars
A turtle carries its habitat. While reliable, it costs energy in transporting mass. NASA makes the same trade-off when it transports habitats and other structures off planet "on the back" of its missions. While this approach is reliable, to save upma.....»»
