At a fundamental level, reality is determined by only two properties of our Universe: the quanta that make up everything that exists and the interactions that take place between them. While the rules ...

To celebrate the 50th anniversary of CBC’s Quirks & Quarks, host Bob McDonald gathered six of Canada’s top scientists to ...

Nowadays physicists are confident in their knowledge of nature’s ultimate bits of matter. A handful of building blocks can be easily summarized in a neat little chart. But merely half a century ago, ...

Quarks are found in protons and are bound together by forces which cause all other known forces of nature to fade. To understand the effects of these strong forces between the quarks is one of the ...

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, ...

We know that all matter is composed of atoms, and atoms are made of protons and neutrons inside the nucleus and electrons outside. But unlike electrons, protons and neutrons are composite particles ...

For the first time, by studying quantum correlations between triplets of secondary particles created during high-energy ...

Murray Gell-Mann, one of the founders of modern particle physics, died on 24 May, aged 89. Gell-Mann’s most influential contribution was to propose the theory of quarks — fundamental particles that ...

Quarkslab is the first company worldwide to have certified its white-box cryptography solution under this highly demanding evaluation process. PARIS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Quarkslab, French deeptech ...

CBC Radio's Quirks and Quarks asked some of Canada’s leading scientists to imagine what the next half-century might bring.

When it comes to the ultimate dream of clean, efficient, and prolific energy sources, it's hard to do better than the secrets held within the interior of an atom. While conventional energy sources ...

As Quirks & Quarks celebrates its 50th anniversary, Bob McDonald looks back at a half century of science and peers forward to the next 50 years.
