Wojciech Brylinski was analyzing data from the NA61/SHINE collaboration at CERN for his thesis when he noticed an unexpected ...

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 ...

Nuclear scientists developed a new theoretical approach to determine a key value essential for understanding the ...

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 ...

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

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.

For the first time, physicists have spotted a difference in the way matter and antimatter baryons decay, which could help to ...

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.

New results from the ALICE collaboration highlight the quark-mass and colour-charge dependence of energy loss in the ...

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 ...
