Latest about Particle Physics
The world's largest atom smasher has "given birth" to a set of four ultraheavy particles — called top quarks.
The LHC's ALICE experiment detected a 'dead cone' in the aftermath of a proton-proton collision, paving the way for the direct measurement of the mass of a quark.
Protons can contain a charm quark, an elementary particle 1.5 times heavier than the proton itself.
The top quark is about 100 trillion times heavier than the up quark. But why?
A team of physicists has found that the remnant of a neutron star merger observed in 2019 has just the right mass to be a strange hypothetical quark star.
Reference Quarks are elementary particles that are the building blocks of all visible matter in the universe. Explore them in more detail here.
Reference Atoms are the basis of all the elements in the universe, the building blocks of all visible matter, and the secret to nuclear power.
Three scientists who laid the groundwork for the understanding of the odd "entangling" behavior of quantum particles have received the 2022 Nobel Prize in Physics.
