More specifically, the team operating the LHC's Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) detector wanted to know if one of the rules upon ...

Most top quarks are produced in top–antitop pairs by the strong force. The production rate for this process is substantial (it has a cross-section of about 7 picobarns) and the presence of two ...

There are plenty of types of stars out there, but one stands out for being just a little weirder than the others. You might ...

Top quarks follow the rules of special relativity day and night. Is there a time of day or night at which nature's heaviest elementary particle stops obeying Einstein's rules? The answer to that ...

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

Scientists have achieved an incredible feat—mapping the forces inside a proton with extreme precision, uncovering the immense ...

Scientists have now mapped the forces acting inside a proton, showing in unprecedented detail how quarks -- the tiny particles within -- respond when hit by high-energy photons. The international team ...

On this week's episode: big bird intelligence, astronauts should jump, sheep and human history, and a tiny great ape.

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 ...
