"With evidence that quarks and gluons are entangled, this picture has changed. We have a much more complicated, dynamic system." ...

Ever wondered about the nature of the universe and the role of quarks? Now, you can find out what links the word for the most elementary particle in the universe with the name of an ancient Slavic ...

Researchers at the Large Hadron Collider tested whether top quarks, the most massive known elementary particles, comply with ...

Atomic nuclei, composed of protons and neutrons, hide quarks and gluons at their core. These latter particles, still challenging to study, have long eluded scientists. In the mid-20th century ...

Scientists have peered inside protons and discovered that quarks and gluons, their fundamental building blocks, experience quantum entanglement. Entangled particles are connected to each other ...

Scientists believe such a substance of free quarks and gluons, the building blocks of protons and neutrons, permeated the universe a fraction of a second after the Big Bang. RHIC's energetic ...

The three valence quarks that make up a proton's core contribute very little to the proton's mass. The majority of the mass is produced by complex quark dynamics, which includes their mobility and ...

On this week's episode: asteriod Bennu has building blocks of life, how polar bears keep ice off their fur, a dog discovers a ...

Most top quarks are produced in top–antitop pairs by the strong force. The production rate for this process is substantial (it has a cross-section of about 7 picobarns) and the presence of two ...

Inside the proton, quarks and gluons shift and morph their properties in ways that physicists are still struggling to understand. Rithya Kunnawalkam Elayavalli brings to the problem a perspective ...

CBC’s Quirks & Quarks is an award-winning radio science program. The program is heard by a national audience in Canada of nearly 800,000 people, and by thousands more around the world on our ...
