  Nuclear equation of state plays an important role in the evolution of the
Universe, in supernova explosions and, thus, in the production of heavy
elements, and in stability of neutron stars. The equation constrains the two-
and three-nucleon interactions and the quantum chromodynamics in
nonperturbative regime. Despite the importance of the equation, though, its
features had remained fairly obscure. The talk reviews new results on the
equation of state from measurements of giant nuclear oscillations and from
studies of particle emission in central collisions of heavy nuclei.
