University of Kansas researchers found colonizers recorded 85.7% of the primary sources in 46 sets of open online materials used to teach imperialism. Teachers increasingly rely on such materials because many districts cannot afford or access print textbooks.

ALICE turned near-miss lead collisions into a photon beam and scanned momentum transfer down to a resolution of 0.2 femtometers, about a quarter of a proton. The drop in J/psi production it found there was not expected.
