Many of nature's most important processes depend on how particles of matter interact with light and other force-carrying ...

Particle Physicists are embarking on a new attempt to solve the mysteries of quarks with the completion of the three most powerful supercomputers ever applied to this problem, including one at the ...

A collaboration of nuclear theorists has used supercomputers to predict the spatial distributions of charges, momentum, and other properties of 'up' and 'down' quarks within protons. The calculations ...

The futurist Arthur C. Clarke famously said that “any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.” Well, a team of physicists just showed that a common particle production method ...

The first detailed measurements of the effects of strange quarks inside protons disagree with theoretical predictions, showing the limitations of theorists’ calculational technology. Benevolent giant.

A surprising negative charge at the center of the neutron arises from an abundance of negatively-charged quarks with very high speeds. Core values. The charge at the center of the neutron is positive ...
