Physicists love a particle accelerator, and we have since taken a good look at the six flavors of quarks (up, down, strange, ...

A decade after the discovery of the “amplituhedron,” physicists have excavated more of the timeless geometry underlying the ...

There are six types (called "flavors"): up, down, charm, strange, top, and bottom. Quarks interact strongly with each other via gluons, particles that transmit the strong nuclear force, one of the ...

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

Through a series of quantum fluctuations, the particles of light (a.k.a. photons) interact with gluons—gluelike particles that hold quarks together within the protons and neutrons of nuclei.

Scientists look for tiny deviations between the precise experimental measurements made in particle colliders and the predictions from the standard model to search for signs of any new physics. The ...

Then, in 1964, Arno Penzias and Robert Wilson detected a particular type of radiation that fills all of space ... and The ...

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

How did everything begin? It's a question that humans have pondered for thousands of years. Over the last century or so, ...

Which is why [CanadaHonk] is building a framework called Gluon, which aims to turn your web pages into desktop apps with little to no effort. We’ve seen their work a few months ago with the ...

Scientists have demonstrated a new way to use high-energy particle smashups at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) to reveal subtle details about the shapes of atomic nuclei. The method is ...
