Physicists know from previous experiments that what happens at the nuclear scale to protons and neutrons also affects their ...

Jets are created when a quark or gluon within a proton or neutron in one of RHIC's ion beams collides intensely with a quark or gluon in the nuclear particles that make up the beam traveling in ...

Scientists at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) have found new evidence that collisions of small nuclei with large ones can create tiny specks of quark-gluon plasma (QGP), a state of ...

These collisions can create a state of matter known as quark-gluon plasma (QGP), where quarks and gluons, the fundamental constituents of protons and neutrons, are no longer confined within ...

Hypernuclei remain a source of fascination due to their rarity in nature and the challenge of creating and studying them in ...

Once a year, the Large Hadron Collider smashes lead ions. But how do scientists get a heavy metal into a particle accelerator ...

Jan. 30, 2025 — A research group has developed new advanced light-controlled tools that enable precise control of proteins in real time in living cells. This groundbreaking research opens doors ...

Scientists are working on an ambitious dark matter experiment in space in the hope it can unravel one of the universe's greatest mysteries.
