Scientists at CERN have observed an unexpected phenomenon within the world’s largest particle accelerator that suggests that ...

The CMS and ATLAS experiments at CERN’s Large Hadron Collider have observed an unforeseen feature in the behaviour of top ...

The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) has begun its first-ever collisions of oxygen ions, in the latest attempt to understand the ...

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

During the powerful proton-proton collisions, the colliding protons’ individual building blocks/quarks and gluons scatter off one another and get knocked free with enormous energy. However, quarks ...

Scientists have now mapped the forces acting inside a proton, showing in unprecedented detail how quarks—the tiny particles within—respond when hit by high-energy photons.

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 ...
