Physicists know from previous experiments that what happens at the nuclear scale to protons and neutrons also affects their ...

Scientists used the most massive fundamental particles to break special relativity, but even that didn’t work.

a DOE Office of Science user facility for nuclear physics research that began operating at Brookhaven Lab in 2000. Jets are created when a quark or gluon within a proton or neutron in one of RHIC ...

Science News and our parent organization, the Society for Science, need your help to strengthen environmental literacy and ensure that our response to climate change is informed by science.

Scientists at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) have found new evidence that collisions of small nuclei with large ones can create tiny specks of quark-gluon plasma (QGP), a state of ...

This high-density quark behavior is called color superconductivity. The strength of pairing inside a color superconductor is difficult to calculate, but scientists have long known the strength's ...

Sheldon Glashow recalls the events surrounding a remarkable decade of model building and discovery between 1964 and 1974.
