The world’s largest particle collider is set to get a brand new toy, named for the oldest guy in the Bible. The toy–a detector, actually—is called MATHUSLA. Researchers submitted a conceptual design report for the detector’s design to the preprint server arXiv on March 26, where it’s now hosted. “MATHUSLA” is a merciful and incredibly forced acronym for the MAssive Timing Hodoscope for Ultra-Stable neutraL pArticles. The acronym is a reference to Methuselah, a biblical figure who lived nearly

Burning droplets bounce back. Credit: Zulu et al., 2025 Burning droplets bounce back. Credit: Zulu et al., 2025 Droplets bouncing off surfaces are an everyday phenomenon, like raindrops bouncing off lotus leaves or water drops sizzling in a hot pan, levitating and sliding around—aka the Leidenfrost effect. There is also an inverse Leidenfrost effect, first described in 1969, that involves a hot object such as a droplet levitating above a cold surface. Understanding the mechanisms behind these p
