Stars are powered by nuclear fusion, in which two or more atomic nuclei have a close encounter and form one or more different nuclei 1. A key aspect of nuclear fusion is that the rearrangement of ...

Deep within the atoms that make up our bodies and even within the protons and neutrons that make up atomic nuclei, are tiny particles called quarks. When you purchase through links on our site, we may ...

The Large Hadron Collider: evidence for intrinsic charm quarks in protons has been found in LHC data. (Courtesy: Maximilien Brice/CERN) A 40-year-old debate about charm quarks in protons may have been ...

The discovery of two entangled quarks at the large Hadron Collider is the highest-energy observation of entanglement ever made. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate ...

Raimond Snellings studies quarks, one of the smallest building blocks of matter. For reasons that physicists don’t fully understand, quarks exist in our universe mainly in groups of threes, to form, ...

The universe is a complex and intricate place. We can move easily through air and yet not through a wall. The sun transmutes one element to another, bathing our planet in warmth and light. Radio waves ...

Birth of these chubby-but-tiny particles could be a sign of new physics. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission. Here’s how it works. The world's largest atom ...

The futurist Arthur C. Clarke famously said that “any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.” Well, a team of physicists just showed that a common particle production method ...

Physicists now know why quarks, the building blocks of the universe, move more slowly inside atomic nuclei, solving a 35-year-old-mystery. Quarks, the smallest particles in the universe, are far ...

IBM introduced a new open source development tool today called Quarks, which is supposed to help manufacturers and programmers develop efficient applications based on Internet of Things (IoT) sensor ...
