Peoples was awarded the Robert R. Wilson Prize for Achievement in the Physics of Particle Accelerators from the American Physical Society in 2010 for his “critical and enduring efforts in making ...

Gell-Mann insisted that his particle, which he called the quark,*was simply a theoretical tool useful in describing the nature of subatomic particles; it did not necessarily have to exist.

Lacquers, paint, concrete—and even ketchup or orange juice: Suspensions are widespread in industry and everyday life. By a suspension, materials scientists mean a liquid in which tiny, insoluble ...

The top quark decays into a bottom quark and a W boson in the time it takes light to travel just 0.1 femtometer—a fraction of the size of the particle itself.

For instance, when top quark pairs are created through the strong interaction, the Standard Model predicts that about two-thirds of them will have parallel spins. However, if an unknown exotic ...

While quantum computers will be able to break traditional encryption, we’re still a long way from “No More Secrets” decryption.

On March 2, 1995, the top quark discovery at Fermilab was announced by scientists on the CDF and DZero collaborations, and the sixth and final quark was added to the Standard Model. Thirty years ago, ...

After their theoretical discovery, scientists around the world raced to find the top quark - small particles, imperceptible to a human's naked eye.

Do top quarks, nature's heaviest elementary particle, obey Einstein's rules at all times of day and night? Scientists at the Large Hadron Collider have the answer.

Scientists have made an important discovery in the world of particle physics by exploring hypernuclei — rare, short-lived atomic systems that include mysterious particles known as hyperons. Unlike ...

Using the Large Hadron Collider and the ALICE detector scientists have found the heavist antimatter particle yet, generated in Big Bang like conditions.

J Particle May Be Charmed Quark “The most puzzling aspect of the recent discovery of a new kind of subnuclear particle at two high-energy-­physics laboratories is the particle’s extra ...
