Space is an amazing physics laboratory, because we can see stars and other objects behaving under extreme conditions. Space.com columnist and astrophysicist Paul Sutter explains how quark stars ...

30 Miles Up. Arguing that others may have been quark hunting in the wrong places, British Physicists J. B. Hasted and M.R.C. McDowell have suggested a new area of search.

Researchers from the Institute of Modern Physics (IMP) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), together with collaborators ...

Researchers from the Institute of Nuclear Physics of the Polish Academy of Sciences have developed a new model incorporating quark-gluon interactions while accounting for nucleon pairing. This ...

Unwilling to wait, McCusker’s team set up a more simple quark trap in a shed behind the University of Sydney’s school of physics. Whenever Geiger counters detected a cosmic shower, they ...

The universe could be swarming with strange “quark stars.” Finding and studying them may hold the keys to breaking into brand new theories of physics. Quark stars mimic their more familiar ...

Evidence grows for deconfined quark matter in neutron-star cores “I definitely find the data convincing,” says theorist Ralf Rapp of Texas A&M University; “There used to be a disconnect between very ...

A quark star — or strange star, after the particular type of quark involved — is born. “My personal point of view is that there is probably no such a thing as a pure quark star,” says ...

Jung and many of his colleagues on the CMS experiment were in Traverse City, Michigan, at the 2023 International Workshop on Top Quark Physics. Jung was listening attentively as physicists announced ...

Jamie Nagle: My current research is in the field of experimental high-energy heavy ion physics.The current theory of strong interactions (quantum chromodynamics QCD) predicts that nuclear matter at ...
