Quarks, the elementary units of matter found in every atomic nucleus, are surprisingly comfortable in large crowds. Two particles discovered at the Large Hadron Collider, or LHC, near Geneva are each ...

The early Universe was a strange place. The Universe was so dense and hot that atoms and nuclei could not form—they would be ripped apart by high-energy collisions. Even protons and neutrons could not ...

Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent every weekday. Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. Using the most powerful particle collider in the world, a research ...

The particles known as quarks were suggested as a way of making sense of a large collection of particles that kept popping out of our atom smashers. While some particles, like electrons and neutrinos, ...

Scientists have observed particle collisions that produce single top quarks. The discovery of the single top confirms important parameters of particle physics, including the total number of quarks, ...

Physicists have long wondered why no elementary particle discovered so far contains more than three of the fundamental building blocks known as quarks. Several recent findings have suggested particles ...

The Higgs boson appeared again at the world's largest atom smasher — this time, alongside a top quark and an antitop quark, the heaviest known fundamental particles. And this new discovery could help ...

If you haven’t read the news recently, there is a bit of a problem with the education system in the United States—especially when it comes to fields that fall outside of the humanities. The US is ...

The universe may contain extremely dense and exotic hypothetical cosmic objects known as strange quark stars. While astrophysicists continue to debate quark stars' existence, a team of physicists has ...

Quark Expeditions has announced the early opening of bookings for its Arctic 2027 and Antarctic 2027-28 voyages. "From a ...
