I recently read a feature interview in Quanta Magazine of physicist Rithya Kunnawalkam Elayavalli, an assistant professor at Vanderbilt University who studies the formation of protons and neutrons ...

For decades, the realm of particle physics has been governed by two major categories: fermions and bosons. Fermions, like quarks and leptons, make up matter, while ... Continue Reading → ...

After decades of study, scientists sound genuinely optimistic about the possibility of detecting primordial black holes, which might explain dark matter.

"As yet, nobody has managed to understand what gives rise to this strange phenomenon, and explaining dark energy remains one ...

In an experiment conducted at the Berkeley National Laboratory (United States) with the participation of a team from the IPHC, scientists have for the first time produced livermorium-290 (Z=116), ...

Quantum entanglement discovered inside protons for the first time Quarks and gluons shown to share information in entangled states Entropy measurements confirm ...

Using data from the Large Hadron Collider and advanced quantum information science, evidence of entanglement between quarks and gluons was found within the proton. This discovery chal ...

A new analysis of data from the PHENIX experiment at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) reveals fresh evidence that collisions of even very small nuclei with large ones might create tiny ...

Scientists have peered inside protons and discovered that quarks and gluons, their fundamental building blocks, experience quantum entanglement. Entangled particles are connected to each other ...

Scientists believe such a substance of free quarks and gluons, the building blocks of protons and neutrons, permeated the universe a fraction of a second after the Big Bang. RHIC's energetic ...

These strong interactions can kick single quarks or gluons free from the colliding nuclear building blocks with tremendous amounts of energy, which quickly transforms the energetic particles into ...
