Researchers have been working for decades to understand the architecture of the subatomic world. One of the knottier ...

Physicists know from previous experiments that what happens at the nuclear scale to protons and neutrons also affects their ...

Scientists believe such a substance of free quarks and gluons, the building blocks of protons and neutrons, permeated the universe a fraction of a second after the Big Bang. RHIC's energetic ...

Scientists have peered inside protons and discovered that quarks and gluons, their fundamental building blocks, experience quantum entanglement. Entangled particles are connected to each other ...

Nuclear physics research is focused on understanding the matter composed of quarks and gluons, which makes up 99% of the mass of the universe. Most of this matter is found at the core of atoms, the ...

In recent years, there have been attempts to describe the inside of a proton using quantum information tools, with partial ...
