Professor Claudia Ratti explains about quarks and gluons, including the so-called Quark-Gluon Plasma, plus Quantum ...

Physicists have struggled for seven decades with the question of why there is more matter in the universe than antimatter.

Most top quarks are produced in top–antitop pairs by the strong force. The production rate for this process is substantial (it has a cross-section of about 7 picobarns) and the presence of two ...

Top quarks follow the rules of special relativity day and night. Is there a time of day or night at which nature's heaviest elementary particle stops obeying Einstein's rules? The answer to that ...

Thus, the direction of the top quarks created by such collisions should change, too. Wildly, that means that the number of quarks created should depend on what time of day the collisions occur!

On this week's episode: big bird intelligence, astronauts should jump, sheep and human history, and a tiny great ape.

Do top quarks, nature's heaviest elementary particle, obey Einstein's rules at all times of day and night? Scientists at the Large Hadron Collider have the answer.
