Computer simulations of high-energy particles are pushing the boundaries of what we can learn about the interactions that happen inside particle colliders ...

Washington State UniversityNews Sci/Tech Ask Dr. Universe: Protons are made of quarks Mon., April 14, 2025 Protons (and neutrons) are made of a different kind of fundamental particle. They’re ...

There are six types of quarks. Up and down quarks are found in protons and neutrons. The other four (charm, strange, top, and bottom) are only seen after very energetic events, as they are not stable.

There are six types (called "flavors"): up, down, charm, strange, top, and bottom. Quarks interact strongly with each other via gluons, particles that transmit the strong nuclear force, one of the ...

Physicists love a particle accelerator, and we have since taken a good look at the six flavors of quarks (up, down, strange, charm, bottom, and top) and the eight different types of gluons.

Pairs of top quarks and antiquarks (illustrated) are produced in collisions of protons at the Large Hadron Collider. Scientists have uncovered evidence of quantum entanglement between the particles.

By smashing protons together at blinding speeds, scientists have shown that pairs of quarks display the phenomenon of quantum entanglement. The result could lead to fresh insight about one of the ...
