We checked in with UNLV astrophysicist Jason Steffen about his zippy method for boarding an aircraft and what kind of differences it can make.

UNLV astrophysicist Jason Steffen worked on new NASA research that provides a deeper understanding of our solar system’s history and measuring exoplanets.

International team reports on a radio pulsar phase of a Galactic magnetar that emitted a fast radio burst in 2020; observations suggest unique origins for “bursts” and “pulses," which adds to FRB formation theory.
 

An international team of scientists reports in Nature the first detection of a quasi-periodic oscillation signal in the radio band from a Galactic black hole system.

From de facto time machines to the story behind your TV static, UNLV cosmologist and computer scientist Paul La Plante shares four facts you probably didn’t know about the universe.
