Scientists have reproduced the properties of atomic nuclei using quark-gluon models, something that had eluded physicists for ...

While quarks are particles that combine to form protons and neutrons, gluons act like glue, binding the quarks together. So ...

Researchers have developed a groundbreaking model that merges traditional nuclear physics, focusing on protons and neutrons, ...

A team of physicists say they have created the first coherent picture of atomic nuclei from their composite particles, quarks ...

The "blinking" appears to slow down, which makes the gluons linger longer. Energetic particle collisions can help physicists study this gluon-dominated state and, guided by new approaches to ...

The mass of the W boson particle has been found by the Large Hadron ... protons and neutrons is carried by a boson called the gluon, the electromagnetic force's boson is the photon, and the ...

The atomic nucleus is made up of protons and neutrons, particles that exist through the interaction of quarks bonded by ...

Diagram shows variations in energy density inside a quark-gluon plasma. Different colors refer to different levels of energy density, in accordance with the scale shown in the right-hand column.

The main signatures of this critical point that scientists can observe are related to changes in the number of particles produced in particle accelerator ... the quark gluon plasma and a hadronic ...

Journal of Physics G: Nuclear and Particle Physics, Vol. 51, Issue. 6, p. 065109. Before matter as we know it emerged, the universe was filled with the primordial state of hadronic matter called quark ...

At the end of a lecture on astronomy, describing how the planets orbit the Sun, a little old lady at the back of the room stood up and said: "What you've told us is all rubbish. The world is ...
