The Museum of Science and Industry may phase in free admission after years of declining attendance and rising family costs.

Chicago’s Griffin Museum of Science and Industry opened a new interactive exhibit featuring a 33-foot slide and energy-themed activities.

Yes, I understand that precautions are being taken, but does it also concern you just a little bit that there are reportedly at least 7 Illinois labs in different parts of the state that experiment with deadly pathogens? Where did I put my insulated bubble suit?

Illinois may be known for a lot of things, but being home to an actual VOLCANO is usually not one of them.

It doesn't happen very often, but a total solar eclipse is happening on April 8th, and we now know the best place to see it here in Minnesota.

Scientists are much braver than most of the rest of us. Don't believe me? Try this on for size. Scientists in Illinois are about to fire a particle beam underground at South Dakota and they're not even a little bit nervous about it apparently.

I've lived in Missouri most of my life, but for some reason that I can't remember, I wasn't living in the state 30 years ago when a rare solar eclipse reached totality directly over Missouri. I've collected some memories of that day.

Experts are weighing in on the possibility that solar flares in the Earth's atmosphere could have caused the massive cell outage experienced nationwide on Thursday.

Safe to say that black holes are considered one of the most feared phenomena known to man? What if I told you there is a discussion about whether or not the super-powerful particle collider in Illinois could create one. The consensus is maybe, but you really shouldn't worry.

There is one Missouri town that has been hit by a double whammy. It's known as being one of the most mispronounced cities in America and it was also slammed into by a mammoth meteor. Can this Missouri place catch a break?
