But, the formation of quark matter takes time ... which can lead to instabilities in the neutron star’s structure. These instabilities may lead to gravitational collapse, potentially forming ...

These results demonstrate the nature of quarks as relativistic neutrinos forming rotating equilateral triangles and ...

nuclear physicists and particle physicists collaborated to develop a novel framework that consistently describes both the particle (quark-gluon) and nuclear (proton-neutron) structure of nuclei ...

Recent advances, both experimental and theoretical, have opened the possibility of learning about the true three-dimensional structure. Jamie Nagle ... so it is possible that neutron stars harbor ...

The emission of beta radiation provides evidence that neutrons and protons are made up of quarks. Beta (\(\beta^-\)) decay is the release of an electron by the change of a neutron to a proton.

In the higher energy picture, composite protons and neutrons (composed of quarks and gluons) interact through quantum chromodynamics (QCD). This residual interaction is the strong nuclear force.
