Studying how quarks inside protons move in response to electric fields shows that protons seem to stretch more than theory says they should.

In a recent article published in Nature, the ATLAS collaboration reported on the Observation of quantum entanglement with top ...

The Large Hadron Collider: evidence for intrinsic charm quarks in protons has been found in LHC data. (Courtesy: Maximilien Brice/CERN) A 40-year-old debate about charm quarks in protons may have been ...

The atomic nucleus is made up of protons and neutrons, particles that exist through the interaction of quarks bonded by gluons. It would seem, therefore, that it should not be difficult to ...

What makes up the matter we perceive in the universe? To start, there are the usual suspects, like electrons, protons, quarks and neutrinos. But if those particles aren't strange enough for you, I ...

The humble proton may seem simple enough, and they’re certainly common. And protons are each made of three up or down quarks. Simple stuff, right? All except for that last part. Protons are ...

The recent team successfully measured the strong force’s distribution within the proton, revealing the shear stress on the proton’s quarks.

When you break down protons, electrons, and neutrons, you get quarks and gluons. These particles may have emerged just after the big bang.

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

It sounds like a sort of mysticism, but instead it’s just quantum physics: protons have been found to contain quarks with more mass than the proton itself.

They are made of fundamental particles, like the proton, neutron and electron. But those are made of even smaller things: quarks. So why stop there? Maybe what we call the fundamental particles of the ...
