Scientists at Brookhaven National Laboratory have used supercomputer simulations to predict electric charge distributions in ...

Discovered at CERN’s Large Hadron Collider (LHC) in 2012, the elusive Higgs boson particle has been at the centre stage for ...

Thomson is no stranger CERN: he worked at a major experiment there in the 1990s, and helped to discover the Higgs boson at ...

It’s a staple of popular fiction, but two mathematicians in Australia now say that an age-old maxim is nothing more than ...

New 2024 American Physical Society Fellow Jozef Dudek is pursuing theoretical descriptions of exotic hadrons, a yet-untallied ...

Hybrid model A new description of nuclei combines the quark–gluon model of particle physics with the proton–neutron ...

The use of "anno domini" and "before Christ" to mark time began in the early days of Christianity, and they're still used to track calendar years today. When reading historical texts or delving ...

If you were to run it at higher energies, for example, you could make pairs of top quarks and anti-top quarks ... Some people say it’s the “Higgs and the electroweak boson factory” but that doesn’t ...

However, in the following years, physicists discovered quarks and gluons. While quarks are particles that combine to form protons and neutrons, gluons act like glue, binding the quarks together.

For the first time, quarks and gluons were used to describe properties of atomic nuclei, which until now had been explained by the existence of protons and neutrons. The temporary pair of correlated ...
