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.

Quantum technology can process an enormous amount of data and solve complex problems in seconds rather than decades. Remarkably, quantum technology first appeared in the early 1900s. It originated ...

The difference lies in the structure of the atom's nucleus, with certain "magic numbers" of nuclear particles making some isotopes especially resistant to radioactive decay. So what are these magic ...

The module was being spearheaded by Ashhar Danish (23), a resident of Bokaro, Jharkhand, identified as the mastermind and central leader. The others have been named as Aftab Qureshi (25) from Kalyan, ...

Can AI create a life form? These “generative” genomes are a start Artificial intelligence can draw cat pictures and write emails. Now the same technology can compose a working genome. A research team ...

Up there, our species is subjected to completely different environmental strains. Two notable, harm-causing stressors are the near-complete weightlessness of microgravity and cosmic radiation — tiny, ...

Everything we see around us, from the ground beneath our feet to the most remote galaxies, is made of matter. For scientists, that has long posed a problem: According to physicists’ best current ...

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or ...

For the first time, scientists have observed electrons in graphene behaving like a nearly perfect quantum fluid, challenging a long-standing puzzle in physics. By creating ultra-clean samples, the ...
