For the Jew steeped in Torah and Chassidic thought, this question points directly to Elokus, the infinite Divine energy that ...

For decades, physicists have relied on the principle of symmetry to simplify and understand the complex behaviors of subatomic particles. Symmetry in physics basically means that some rules of nature ...

Scientists have found new evidence that a pattern of “flow” observed in particles streaming ...

When it comes to the ultimate dream of clean, efficient, and prolific energy sources, it's hard to do better than the secrets held within the interior of an atom. While conventional energy sources ...

The three valence quarks of a proton contribute to its spin, but so do the gluons, sea quarks and antiquarks, and orbital angular momentum as well. The electrostatic repulsion and the attractive ...

Melting elementary particles such as quarks can produce amounts of energy so massive it is equivalent to 10 times that of nuclear fusion, researchers have reported. Quarks are the most basic building ...

Scientists analyzing data from heavy ion collisions at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC)—the world's most powerful particle ...

Smaller than an atom, but majorly important: introducing the quark! Quarks helped make sense of particle physics, and we'll ...

View Slideshow It's long been thought that a supernova, the most explosive event in the universe short of the big bang itself, typically leaves behind one of two remnants: a neutron star or a black ...

An experiment that offers a peek inside the behavior of subatomic particles called quarks could help answer questions about why the universe is made of matter, and might even be evidence of new, ...

Astrophysicists are closing in on one of the strangest possibilities in stellar evolution, a compact remnant that might sit ...
