A football-field-sized balloon drifting above the Ross Ice Shelf has just turned Antarctica into one of the most ambitious listening posts in modern astrophysics. Over 23 days aloft, a University of ...

Probing the vibration of atoms provides detailed information on local structure and bonding that define material properties.

For a mere moment after the Big Bang, no neutrons or protons are thought to have existed. These neutral and positively charged particles, respectively, make up the center of all atoms today. But ...
