Our account of the strong nuclear force is full of imaginative terms. Six flavors of quarks have color charges of red, green and blue, which dictate how they bind to form particles like protons and ...

Observations of a nucleus paired with a neutral meson could provide new insights into the theory of quantum chromodynamics ...

Deep inside every atom lies a restless world of quarks and gluons—the tiny building blocks that hold everything together, from rocks to stars. For decades, physicists have tried to understand how ...

For the first time, physicists have developed a model that explains the origins of unusually stable magic nuclei based directly on the interactions between their protons and neutrons. Published in ...

Figure 4 The traditional Cavendish experiment for measuring the strength of gravity was a torsion balance with an “optical” ...

The study says that large cosmological surveys like Euclid and DESI can provide hints of new physics by looking at billions of galaxies.
