Berlin, Germany (SPX) May 12, 2025
An international team of physicists working on the NA61/SHINE experiment has discovered a striking violation of a fundamental quark-level symmetry known as flavor symmetry during high-energy nuclear collisions. This unexpected observation, made in collisions of argon and scandium atomic nuclei, challenges long-held assumptions about the behavior of quarks under extreme conditions and may hint at

Astana, Kazakhstan (AFP) May 15, 2025
Kazakhstan said Thursday there were no talks on Russia giving up its lease on the Baikonur spaceport before it runs out in 2050, amid reports Moscow is looking to ditch the ageing cosmodrome.
The spaceport is used by Russia to send astronauts to the International Space Station (ISS).

An Australian aerospace firm said Thursday it has delayed a historic first attempt to launch a locally developed rocket into orbit, with a jar of Vegemite as its payload.
Gilmour Space Technologies said a ground system glitch forced it to postpone the first test launch of its three-stage Eris rocket by a day until Friday.

A new theory from Dartmouth College researchers suggests that dark matter, the elusive substance making up most of the universe's mass, may have originated from the rapid transformation of fast-moving, nearly massless particles in the early universe.
Published in Physical Review Letters, the study posits that dark matter formed when these particles, initially moving at relativistic speeds,
