“There’s a lot of meanings for ‘small,’” says Janet Conrad, a particle physicist at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology ...

Researchers from the Indian Institute of Science’s Department of Physics, together with researchers from Japan's National ...

Nucleons, which include protons and neutrons, are the composite particles that make up atomic nuclei. While these particles have been widely studied in the past, their internal structure has not yet ...

CMS researchers observe quantum entanglement in top quark–antiquark pairs, revealing new insights into quantum behaviour at the smallest scales Quantum entanglement is a fascinating phenomenon in ...

Laura holds a Master's in Experimental Neuroscience and a Bachelor's in Biology from Imperial College London. Her areas of expertise include health, medicine, psychology, and neuroscience. Particles ...

Particles emerging from proton collisions at CERN's Large Hadron Collider travel through through this stories-high, many-layered instrument, the CMS detector. Scientists at CERN have observed an ...

The CMS and ATLAS experiments at CERN’s Large Hadron Collider have observed an unforeseen feature in the behaviour of top quarks that suggests that these heaviest of all elementary particles form a ...

What happens when the smallest building blocks of matter refuse to play by the rules of traditional physics? For decades, atomic nuclei have posed a stubborn puzzle: at low energies, they appear as ...

Here's a complete example that demonstrates all the concepts we've covered: ...

As they probe deeper into the heart of the atom, discovering ever smaller and more mysterious particles and particles within particles, scientists have succeeded in bringing the once stable world of ...

A team of physicists has found that the remnant of a neutron star merger observed in 2019 has just the right mass to be a strange hypothetical quark star.

Researchers from the Chinese Academy of Sciences’ (CAS) Institute of Modern Physics (IMP) have proposed a key indicator that could reveal the emergence of quark-gluon plasma (QGP) by examining ...
