Inside the Large Hadron Collider, protons slam together at nearly the speed of light, creating a brief fireball of quarks and ...

Schematic picture of the predicted Tetraquark, T bc, made of four quarks: beauty, charm quarks and two light anti-quarks. Exploring the complex domain of subatomic particles, researchers at the The ...

His research enabled the discovery that protons and neutrons are made of smaller particles, contributing to a fuller picture of the subatomic universe. By Katrina Miller Katrina Miller earned a Ph.D.

NEWPORT NEWS, VA – An elusive particle that first formed in the hot, dense maelstrom of the early universe has puzzled physicists for decades. Following its surprise discovery in 2003, scientists ...

What makes up the matter we perceive in the universe? To start, there are the usual suspects, like electrons, protons, quarks and neutrinos. But if those particles aren't strange enough for you, I'm ...

Physicists have shown that particles produced in collimated sprays called jets retain information about their origins in subatomic particle smashups. Physicists at the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE ...
