Quarks are of six types; up, down, charm, strange, top, and bottom. The first two (up and down) are considered first-generation of quarks, the next two are referred to as the second-generation ...

Moreover, even those quarks (the up and down that comprise a neutron) get compressed into an even rarer type of quark called a strange quark—hence the name strange star. Technically, the ...

There are six "flavors" of quark with increasing masses: up, down (found in protons and neutrons), charm, strange ... Thus, the direction of the top quarks created by such collisions should ...

In a first-of-its-kind experiment conducted at the world's most powerful particle accelerator, the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), scientists have attempted to discover if the universe's heaviest ...
