This surprising finding seems to invalidate the concept of universal hadronisation of heavy quarks, which is an important basis for calculations of particle production in QCD. A new dimension ...

Gell-Mann called them quarks and their existence was confirmed in the 1970s. There are six types of quarks: up, down, top, bottom, strange, and charm.

Strange Charm was the last studio album released on his self-owned Numa Records label.By the time of Strange Charm's recording, Numan had found himself more ...

There are six varieties of quarks, including one known as “strange”. However, in the world of the very small, where quantum physics reigns, many things are strange, and arguably charm quarks ...

Prior work suggested that, given enough pressure, half of the neutrons' down quarks might transform into strange quarks, leading to strange quark stars made of strange matter.

There are six kinds, or "flavors," of quarks: up, down, top, bottom, strange and charm. A neutron is composed of two down quarks and one up quark.

The other four types of quark — strange, charm, top and bottom quarks — are rarely observed and scarcely created, except in particle accelerators and random energetic events around the universe.

Quarks come in six different types, or flavors, called up, down, charm, strange, top, and bottom. Protons and neutrons are made of up and down quarks. Theory suggests that, in the extremely compressed ...

The lightest neutron star ever found, at around 0.77 times the mass of the sun, no longer fits with our understanding of how these stars form. It might even contain exotic matter like strange quarks.
