Smaller than an atom, but majorly important: introducing the quark! Quarks helped make sense of particle physics, and we'll ...

For decades, physicists have relied on the principle of symmetry to simplify and understand the complex behaviors of subatomic particles. Symmetry in physics basically means that some rules of nature ...

His research enabled the discovery that protons and neutrons are made of smaller particles, contributing to a fuller picture of the subatomic universe. By Katrina Miller Katrina Miller earned a Ph.D.

The supercollider is now being used to explore quantum phenomena, including a “magic” form of quantum entanglement.

Protons might be stretchier than they should be. The subatomic particles are built of smaller particles called quarks, which are bound together by a powerful interaction known as the strong force. New ...

A boiling sea of quarks and gluons, including virtual ones—this is how we can imagine the main phase of high-energy proton ...

As they probe deeper into the heart of the atom, discovering ever smaller and more mysterious particles and particles within particles, scientists have succeeded in bringing the once stable world of ...

A new review examines the three decades of the LHCb experiment, its achievements and future potential. A new review published in EPJ H by Clara Matteuzzi, Research Director at the National Institute ...

Physicists have confirmed that matter and antimatter decay differently for elementary particles containing charmed quarks. The findings may also indicate new physics beyond the Standard Model, which ...

Probing ever deeper into the inner world of the atom, nuclear physicists have uncovered an increasingly baffling collection of tiny particles. Besides the familiar neutrons, electrons and protons, ...

While some intellectuals only have their talent discovered later in adulthood, it was certainly not the case for Gell-Mann. Besides capable of complex mental maths at a young age, he adopted childhood ...

Top result: An artist's impression of top-quark entanglement. The line between the particles emphasizes the non-separability of the top-quark pair, which is produced by LHC collisions and recorded by ...
