New findings from the STAR detector at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) suggest that gluons, the particles that act ...

Physicists at CERN have found a new way to peer deep inside atomic nuclei and distinguish between two competing explanations ...

Leaving the Y behind: When a proton collides with another particle (left), its three valence quarks (labelled u, u, d) will continue to fly down the beampipe, but its Y-shaped configuration of gluons ...

Higgs decays have exposed quantum connections between massive particles that vanish almost as soon as they are created.

ALICE observó una inesperada supresión al estudiar regiones de apenas 0,2 femtómetros dentro de núcleos de plomo. El patrón encaja con una idea perseguida desde hace décadas: la saturación de gluones.

In the previous installment, I wrote about my memories of Dr. Leo Esaki. For this third part, I will recount my two-stage encounter with Professor Richard Taylor.Professor Taylor was a physicist who d ...

The shape of an atomic nucleus showed up in the debris of a collider crash, and neon's core turned out to look like a bowling ...

Physicists have detected strong evidence that heavy, fleeting Z bosons can become quantum entangled during Higgs boson decays ...

The Strong Nuclear Force is responsible for holding protons and neutrons together within the nucleus of atoms. This force is ...

The sun and moon are positioned just right for us to see total solar eclipses, and the make-up of the universe is just right ...

Some were disappointed at the lack of "new physics" from the LHC. Could forthcoming updates be the accelerator's redemption arc—assuming it needs one?
