For decades, physicists have relied on the principle of symmetry to simplify and understand the complex behaviors of subatomic particles. Symmetry in physics basically means that some rules of nature ...

In September 2024, physicists made a discovery at CERN that could change how we understand the universe. For the first time, ...

The three valence quarks of a proton contribute to its spin, but so do the gluons, sea quarks and antiquarks, and orbital angular momentum as well. The electrostatic repulsion and the attractive ...

We know that all matter is composed of atoms, and atoms are made of protons and neutrons inside the nucleus and electrons outside. But unlike electrons, protons and neutrons are composite particles ...

Quarks are found in protons and are bound together by forces which cause all other known forces of nature to fade. To understand the effects of these strong forces between the quarks is one of the ...

Nowadays physicists are confident in their knowledge of nature’s ultimate bits of matter. A handful of building blocks can be easily summarized in a neat little chart. But merely half a century ago, ...

Murray Gell-Mann, one of the founders of modern particle physics, died on 24 May, aged 89. Gell-Mann’s most influential contribution was to propose the theory of quarks — fundamental particles that ...

When it comes to the ultimate dream of clean, efficient, and prolific energy sources, it's hard to do better than the secrets held within the interior of an atom. While conventional energy sources ...

Quarkslab is the first company worldwide to have certified its white-box cryptography solution under this highly demanding evaluation process. PARIS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Quarkslab, French deeptech ...
