A color blind painter and a physicist with expertise on the “color force” that binds together particles called quarks will be among the presenters at Buffalo’s next Science & Art Cabaret. The theme of ...

In this video, we explore the fundamental forces of nature and their interactions with particles, structured as follows: 0:00 ...

What are the smallest building blocks in Nature? How do these particles build up everything we see around us? What forces act in Nature and how do they actually function? This year's Nobel Prize in ...

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 ...

Stephen has degrees in science (Physics major) and arts (English Literature and the History and Philosophy of Science), as well as a Graduate Diploma in Science Communication. Stephen has degrees in ...

Like a quantum version of a whirling top, protons have angular momentum, known as spin. But the source of the subatomic particles’ spin has confounded physicists. Now scientists have confirmed that ...

We’re made of flesh and bone and fat, which are in turn made of protons and electrons, which are (mostly) made of quarks. Which, even though they are the most basic form of matter, are a minuscule ...

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 ...

LAWRENCE -- A team of high-energy nuclear experimental particle physicists from the University of Kansas has earned a two-year, $400,000 Department of Energy (DoE) grant to investigate strong ...

Nature is the ultimate puzzle player, as scientists at the European Center for Nuclear Research (CERN) found out last week. In the late 1950s, particle physics was in crisis. Being the branch of ...

Stars are powered by nuclear fusion, in which two or more atomic nuclei have a close encounter and form one or more different nuclei 1. A key aspect of nuclear fusion is that the rearrangement of ...
