Protons, the positively charged particles that help build every atom in our bodies, are starting to look less like classical ...

"With evidence that quarks and gluons are entangled, this picture has changed. We have a much more complicated, dynamic system." When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate ...

Look around you (or, if you’re sight impaired, touch something). Everything solid, liquid, or gas that you see and feel is made of matter. We sometimes call it “normal” matter, though with dark matter ...

Protons make up most of the visible universe. Now, in a new study published in the August 18 issue of the journal Nature, scientists find that because of the strange nature of quantum physics, protons ...

Protons can hold an elementary particle heavier than themselves. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission. Here’s how it works. Protons may have more "charm" ...

DEEP in the heart of every atom lurk protons, tiny particles from which the chemical elements were forged, first in the searing heat of the big bang and then in the nuclear furnaces of stars. The ...

For new, human-made heavy elements on the periodic table, being “too ‘big’ for your own good” often means instability and a fleeting existence. The more protons and neutrons scientists squeeze ...

Scientists have used high-energy particle collisions to peer inside protons, the particles that sit inside the nuclei of all ...
