Atomic nuclei, composed of protons and neutrons, hide quarks and gluons at their core. These latter particles, still challenging to study, have long eluded scientists. In the mid-20th century, ...

A recent study has proposed a new mechanism for the formation of primordial black holes that could provide answers about dark matter.

Scientists at Brookhaven National Laboratory have used supercomputer simulations to predict electric charge distributions in ...

Calculations of charge distribution in mesons provide benchmark for experimental measurements and validate widely used 'factorization' method for imaging the building blocks of matter.

The Big Bang theory suggests that the universe began as a hot, dense point, expanding into the cosmos we observe today.

As the nuclei collide with each other the temperature can be raised to about 5 trillion degrees Celsius (°C), whereby the components of the nucleus c– protons and neutrons – are broken down into ...

Scientists have demonstrated a new way to use high-energy particle smashups at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC)—a U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Science user facility for nuclear ...
