Last month, a UChicago-led mission known as Payload for Ultrahigh Energy Observations, or PUEO, landed a few hundred miles from the South Pole after a journey aboard a NASA balloon. PUEO flew 120,000 ...

Slay the Spire 2 developer Mega Crit is "totally blown away" by the immediate and colossal response to its long-awaited sequel, but it's exactly what the team deserves. If there's a 'second coming' ...

While science has a solid grasp on calculating drag and resistance on microscopic spherical objects, particles like dust, microplastics, and viruses are rarely spherical. A new study re-analyzes a ...

When you drill down into the very fabric of reality—where elementary particles make up the matter that is you and me and everything around us in three-dimensional space—things get divided nicely into ...

The National Science Foundation's massive IceCube neutrino detector at the South Pole just got a major new upgrade, which promises to take the search for "ghost particles" to a new level. When you ...

The new U.S. strategy for rare-earth minerals looks a lot like China’s old one. A U.S. government agency is providing most of the funding for a $12 billion government-led stockpile of minerals, some ...
