Quantum mechanics physics theory was born 100 years ago, thanks to Heisenberg's hay fever Guest Jay Howarth Senior Lecturer ...

The astonishing result, achieved by the CMS (Compact Muon Solenoid) collaboration, represents the first-ever observation of single top quark production with W and Z bosons, a process known as tWZ ...

Light and heavy New calculations reveal quark distributions in flavour-asymmetric mesons. (Courtesy: iStock Traffic-Analyzer) The distribution of quarks inside flavour-asymmetric mesons has been ...

Heavy-ion physics is a dynamic field that investigates the behaviour of matter under extreme conditions by colliding nuclei at relativistic speeds. Such collisions create a short-lived, ...

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 work ...

A new theory-based approach provides access to the minute transverse motion of quarks within protons. Nuclear physicists have developed a new theoretical framework that allows them to calculate a ...

For a large star, death is a bit of a squeeze. Once its nuclear fuel is spent, its core collapses, sparking a dramatic supernova explosion that blasts away the outer layers. The body left is a cold, ...

Can a quark star exist? It's an open question in the astronomy community, but there appears to be an argument for quark stars if we examine the physics of dying stars in more detail, argues ...

A new review examines the three decades of the LHCb experiment, its achievements and future potential. A new review published in EPJ H by Clara Matteuzzi, Research Director at the National Institute ...

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — Dark matter, which is thought to account for nearly a quarter of matter in the universe (but has yet to be observed), has perplexed physicists for decades. They’re constantly ...
