What happens when the smallest building blocks of matter refuse to play by the rules of traditional physics? For decades, ...

While gluons are responsible for generating most of the visible mass in the universe, their role inside nuclei remains poorly ...

On June 11, the National Academies of Science, Engineering and Medicine announced the result of a three-year study to set a ...

An international team of scientists has published a new report that moves towards a better understanding of the behaviour of some of the heaviest ...

In the world of particle physics, where scientists unravel the mysteries of the universe, artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) are making waves with how they're increasing ...

If quarks and gluons are entangled with protons, this technique says that should be revealed by the disorder, or "entropy," seen in the sprays of daughter particles.

The results reveal that quarks and gluons, the fundamental building blocks that make up a proton's structure, are subject to so-called quantum entanglement.This quirky phenomenon, famously ...

In two recent studies, the ATLAS collaboration analyzed proton–proton collision data from LHC Run 2 (2015–2018) to measure how often top-quark pairs are produced alongside bottom quarks or ...

Pairs of top and anti-top quarks created in the aftermath of a proton collision live infinitesimally short lives — lasting 10 −25 seconds. Then they decay into longer-lived particles.

The ATLAS experiment at the Large Hadron Collider, which studies top and antitop quarks produced in proton collisions at 13 TeV, has made the highest-energy observation of entanglement to date.
