Hence, a quark star. We can study quarks using huge colliders that smash up small particles, but the mathematics and physics are pretty complicated, Sutter says.

The key test passed by sPHENIX to prove it is ready to measure the properties of quark-gluon plasma is called a "standard ...

We kickoff our series Space Camp with a look at space launches. What does hurtling into space feel like? What physics are involved? And what's the "junk" in Earth's orbit?

Humans are traveling farther into space than ever before. We look at the physics of launch – how to send something up and how it can come crashing back down.

It mostly goes without saying, but for a person to get to outer space, they need to be in some sort of spacecraft attached to a rocket. That rocket shoots out exhaust when it leaves the launch pad ...

Propellant-less Rockets:An Exciting New Vision for Space Travel Dr. Buhler's journey toward creating the propellant-less rocket started with a desire to find a better way to travel through space.

On March 4, 2022, a lonely, spent rocket booster will smack into the surface of the Moon at nearly 6,000 mph. Once the dust has settled, NASA’s Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter will move into position to ...

Across the solar system, asteroids and comets crash into moons and planets every day. The rocket collision will provide researchers with important data on how these collisions work.

The exhaust from a rocket launching into space does the same thing. The rocket has to go really fast because it needs to overcome the curvature of spacetime itself.
