It has been discovered that quantum entanglement in the proton is maximal, and that its main sources are constantly ‘boiling’ seas of virtual gluons and quarks. In the article just published ...

Professor Claudia Ratti explains about quarks and gluons, including the so-called Quark-Gluon Plasma, plus Quantum ...

On March 2, 1995, the top quark discovery at Fermilab was announced by scientists on the CDF and DZero collaborations, and ...

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 ...

Nuclear scientists used a new theoretical approach to calculate a value essential for unraveling the three-dimensional motion of quarks within a proton. Employing these new tools, scientists ...

Protons sit in the nuclei of all atoms, but they are not fundamental particles: They are made of three quarks held together by the strong nuclear force. The strength of this interaction is ...

The strong force holds together quarks, the fundamental particles that make up the protons and neutrons of the atomic nucleus, and further holds together protons and neutrons to form atomic nuclei.

By the way, you'll need to create each proton and neutron from scratch, using two types of quarks—up quarks and down quarks. Some friendly advice: Try to keep the atom's overall electrical ...

Physicists know from previous experiments that what happens at the nuclear scale to protons and neutrons also affects their constituent quarks and gluons – they just don’t know exactly how yet.

Unlike the electron, the proton is not a fundamental particle: it's made up of smaller particles called quarks and gluons. As a result, precise calculations of hyperfine splitting need to include ...
