The scientific world has long known that atoms form the basic building blocks of matter, but CERN is interested in peering beyond the atom into the mesonic and baryonic soup that gives rise to matter ...

Scientists have discovered a common thread between the monstrous black holes that lurk at the hearts of galaxies and subatomic glass condensates created in collisions of atomic nuclei. When you ...

Physicists at the world's largest atom smasher have observed two quarks in a state of quantum entanglement for the first time. The ATLAS experiment (A Toroidal LHC Apparatus) is the largest detector ...

The two-dimensional spatial distribution of mass due to gluons in the nucleon (left) and the pion (right), simulated at seven valence pion masses with lattice quantum chromodynamics. Understanding the ...

Particle physics dives into the very depths of the universe – the particles that make up atoms. Over the past century, we have peeled back the layers and uncovered more about the make-up of subatomic ...

Polarized proton containing spinning quarks and gluons (represented by right-handed and left-handed spirals). The negative Δg solutions (blue) are disfavored relative to the positive Δg solutions (red ...
