Boiling sea of quarks and gluons, including virtual ones – this is how we can imagine the main phase of high-energy proton ...

The CMS collaboration reports the first measurement of the quantum properties of a family of tetraquarks that was recently ...

The supercollider is now being used to explore quantum phenomena, including a “magic” form of quantum entanglement.

Shedding light on the strange, car-sized, armoured fish that lived 360 million years ago in what is now Cleveland. Plus: the ...

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 ...

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 ...

Dr Sumedha Kotwal When we look deeply into matter, the solidity of the world begins to dissolve. What appears hard, tangible, ...

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, ...

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 ...
