Background: microscopy image of a zinc oxide nanoparticle. Foreground: time-lapsed images as particles merge while moving through a liquid. The lines represent electric fields. Bottom: image of the path particles take before merging.

Dynamic Duos: How Particles Attach

A new quantitative understanding of how, at what distance, and in what shape zinc oxide nanoparticles come together while separated by liquid.

How Large Are Neutron Stars?

Data from the first observation of a neutron-star collision combined with input from modern nuclear theory narrow the range of neutron star radii.

When Tiny, Energetic Worlds Collide

A new analysis provides a clearer picture of the universe by considering the yield of fast particles in grazing versus head-on nuclear collisions.
