Dutch researcher Bram Wijngaarden investigated how bottom quarks are created during collisions between protons and antiprotons. Wijngaarden’s measurements have contributed to a better understanding of ...

Quantum entanglement has made its way to the top. Scientists have measured the strange quantum phenomenon of entanglement in top quarks, the heaviest fundamental subatomic particles known. It’s the ...

A collaboration of nuclear theorists has used supercomputers to predict the spatial distributions of charges, momentum, and other properties of 'up' and 'down' quarks within protons. The calculations ...

View Slideshow It's long been thought that a supernova, the most explosive event in the universe short of the big bang itself, typically leaves behind one of two remnants: a neutron star or a black ...

At the Large Hadron Collider at CERN protons crash into each other at incredibly high energies in order to 'smash' the protons and to study the elementary particles of nature – including quarks.

Harry Cliff is a member of the LHCb Collaboration, though he was not directly involved in the work described in this article. Everything you see around you is made up of elementary particles called ...
