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 ...

Researchers from the Institute of Nuclear Physics of the Polish Academy of Sciences have developed a new model incorporating quark-gluon interactions while accounting for nucleon pairing. For the ...

A team of physicists say they have created the first coherent picture of atomic nuclei from their composite particles, quarks and gluons. The 20th century was a pretty busy hundred years for ...

The atomic nucleus is made up of protons and neutrons, particles that exist through the interaction of quarks bonded by gluons. It would seem, therefore, that it should not be difficult to ...
