A team of planetary scientists has discovered a new approach to explore the Martian subsurface using debris layers created by impact craters. The study shows that ejecta blankets - layers of rock and other material expelled during an impact event - can reveal significant details about the subsurface composition depending on the type of material beneath the crater. This breakthrough could enhance

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
