Researchers have been working for decades to understand the architecture of the subatomic world. One of the knottier questions has been where the proton gets its intrinsic angular momentum, otherwise ...

Particle detectors play a crucial role in our understanding of the fundamental building blocks of the universe. They allow ...

Protons are far from simple particles — they are swirling cauldrons of quarks, gluons, and quantum entanglement. Scientists ...

In a major milestone for particle physics, scientists at CERN’s Large Hadron Collider (LHC) have successfully observed top ...

In recent years, there have been attempts to describe the inside of a proton using quantum information tools, with partial ...

I recently read a feature interview in Quanta Magazine of physicist Rithya Kunnawalkam Elayavalli, an assistant professor at Vanderbilt University who studies the formation of protons and neutrons ...

This shift affects the behavior of electrically charged particles like electrons, protons, quarks, and ions, which are responsible for creating the spectacular Northern Lights (aurora borealis) and ...

Einstein proposed his special theory of relativity 120 years ago, and despite numerous attempts to challenge it, the theory still remains intact and valid. It is a simple but powerful concept that ...
