Quarks are elementary particles that are the building blocks of all visible matter in the universe. Explore them in more detail here.

Quarks truly dislike being separated, so after a mere 10 −24 seconds, they start mixing with each other to form hadrons such as protons and neutrons.

Do top quarks, nature's heaviest elementary particle, obey Einstein's rules at all times of day and night? Scientists at the Large Hadron Collider have the answer.

The quarks that give it charge aren't hanging out with the gluons that provide mass. John Timmer – Apr 3, 2023 4:30 pm | 116 The Jefferson Lab particle accelerator, where the work took place.

A hunt to find proof of the charm quark eventually proved successful. Experiments revealed charm quarks have two-thirds the charge of a proton, and a mass estimated at around 1,275 MeV, compared ...
