High energy proton collisions can be pictured as a roiling sea of quarks and gluons, including short lived virtual particles. At first glance, this ...

Inside high-energy proton collisions, quarks and gluons briefly form a dense, boiling state before cooling into ordinary ...

A crucial turning point in particle physics occurred in 2012 when the Higgs Boson was discovered at CERN's Large Hadron Collider (LHC). Since that time, the ATLAS and CMS teams have been meticulously ...

A 3.5-gallon volume of deep space, specifically within the Milky Way's Orion-Cygnus Arm, would contain approximately 4 million neutrinos and about 13,000 gas atoms, predominantly hydrogen and helium.

(THE CONVERSATION) A clever mathematical tool known as virtual particles unlocks the strange and mysterious inner workings of subatomic particles. What happens to these particles within atoms would ...
