Indiana University is collaborating on a new National Science Foundation project to study one of the mysteries of the universe and better understand the nature of matter.
A $3.25 million, five-year grant from the NSF will support the Nuclear Physics from Multi-Messenger Mergers Focus Research Hub that will study the structure of neutron stars, the densest objects in the universe. The research hub will perform a new kind of astronomy, observing both light and minute oscillations of space and time known as gravitational waves.
