Simulated gluon field in the nucleus. When energy increases, the nucleus grows and its internal structure changes. A researcher Heikki Mäntysaari from the University of Jyväskylä (Finland), has been ...

Researchers at Brookhaven National Laboratory's RHIC particle accelerator have determined that an exotic form of matter produced in their collisions is the most rapidly spinning material ever detected ...

A team of physicists has embarked on a journey where few others have gone: into the glue that binds atomic nuclei. The resultant measurement, which was extracted from experimental data taken at the ...

Only 1% of the mass of the proton comes from the Higgs field. ALICE scientists examine a process that could help explain the rest. When protons and nuclei inside the Large Hadron Collider smash ...

NOTHING is not what it seems. Or rather, the vacuum that exists throughout space and inside every atom is not empty at all. It has an intricate structure that determines how matter is built. Sounds ...
