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.

The generation of fusion energy utilizes the fusion reaction that occurs inside a high-temperature plasma. In order to achieve the generation of fusion energy, we confine plasma in the magnetic field ...

An ancient crocodile’s last meal might never have come to light were it not for researchers deciding to scan the rock-embedded fossil with a beam of neutrons. The scientists had set out to see if ...

The first-known observations of matter–antimatter asymmetry in a decaying composite subatomic particle that belongs to the baryon class are reported from the LHCb experiment located at the Large ...

Subatomic particles called muons are born from cosmic rays bombarding the atmosphere. Because muons can penetrate objects, scientists are using them to peek inside volcanoes. This technique — called ...

The United States' military has announced it is seeking to create powerful subatomic particle beams that would enable personnel to "see" through walls tens of yards thick and even peer deep ...

Whether as the protons and neutrons that help form chemical elements, the photons that we perceive as light or even the flows ...

A relatively small detector caught neutrinos from a nuclear reactor using a technique known as coherent scattering ...

Scientists working with the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) have discovered three subatomic particles never seen before as they work to unlock the building blocks of the universe, the European nuclear ...
