Stress is a very real factor in the structure of our universe. Not the kind of stress that students experience when taking a test, but rather the physical stresses that affect everyday objects.

CAMBRIDGE, MA. -- In the dead of a Martian winter, clouds of snow blanket the Red Planet's poles — but unlike our water-based snow, the particles on Mars are frozen crystals of carbon dioxide. Most of ...

Working with IBM Quantum, BITS scientists simulated the behaviour of subatomic particles on 120 qubits of an IBM processor; in a first for Indian labs, the Quantum Advantage Tracker has deemed the ...

What is everything made of? It’s the fundamental question that lies at the heart of particle physics. Today, scientists are using gigantic, atom-smashing particle accelerators to probe deeper into the ...

Physicists have proved that a subatomic particle can switch into its antiparticle alter-ego and back again, in a new discovery revealed today. The extraordinarily precise measurement was made by UK ...

The particles that are in an atom: protons, neutrons and electrons The particles that are in protons and neutrons: quarks The four fundamental forces: gravity, electromagnetism, the strong force and ...
