By separately scattering right- and left-handed electrons off quarks in a deuterium target, researchers have improved, by about a factor of five, on a classic result of mirror-symmetry breaking ...

In a recent article published in Nature, the ATLAS collaboration reported on the Observation of quantum entanglement with top ...

Quarks don't actually have colors, but they do have charges as governed by the strong interaction. Only with these unique properties can the building blocks of matter combine to produce the ...

Newly released observations of the top quark — the heaviest of all known fundamental particles — could topple the standard model of particle physics. Data from collisions at the Tevatron ...

Explore the universe's mysterious quark stars! Learn how these exotic objects, composed of free quarks, could reveal secrets about gamma-ray bursts, supernovae, and the very origins of our cosmos.

A team of researchers have made progress in understanding how some of the Universe's heaviest particles behave under extreme ...

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 ...

Although we depict quarks, antiquarks and gluons as having colors or anticolors, this is only an analogy. The actual science is even more fascinating. E. SIEGEL / BEYOND THE GALAXY.

Nuclear physicists have found that strange quarks do contribute to the structure of the proton. This result indicates that, just as previous experiments have hinted, strange quarks in the proton's ...

Among other differences between the two, down quarks (or antiquarks) have more than twice the mass of up quarks, so a down antiquark can’t cancel out an up quark, only a down quark.

From Quarks To Mind: Is Our Existence Inevitable? : 13.7: Cosmos And Culture Is our existence inevitable or are we a cosmic accident? In trying to answer, we learn much about what our beliefs are.
