Smaller than an atom, but majorly important: introducing the quark! Quarks helped make sense of particle physics, and we'll ...

Protons may be intrinsically charming. The subatomic particles are a mash-up of three lighter particles called quarks: two of the type known as up quarks and one down quark. But physicists have ...

The particles that are in an atom: protons, neutrons and electrons The particles that are in protons and neutrons: quarks The four fundamental forces: gravity, electromagnetism, the strong force and ...

Protons might be stretchier than they should be. The subatomic particles are built of smaller particles called quarks, which are bound together by a powerful interaction known as the strong force. New ...

The Large Hadron Collider has discovered a new particle, the 80th identified so far by the world's most powerful particle smasher, Europe's CERN physics laboratory announced Tuesday. The new particle ...

Top result: An artist's impression of top-quark entanglement. The line between the particles emphasizes the non-separability of the top-quark pair, which is produced by LHC collisions and recorded by ...

Fleeting connection Artist’s impression of toponium, which is a top quark and antitop quark that are briefly bound by an exchange of gluons. (Courtesy: D Dominguez/CERN) For decades, physicists ...
