A new theoretical method enables more accurate calculations of the three-dimensional motion of quarks, and leads to a deeper understanding of the dynamics of the proton spin
The early universe immediately after the big bang, with a chaotic background of energy and particles. Small, dense black holes, some the size of an atom, are scattered throughout the image. These black holes are described with a "color charge" aura, symbolizing the unique property of quarks and gluons. Around the black holes is a cosmic landscape of quark-gluon plasma, with hints of the beginnings of proton and neutron formation. The image was prepared using DALEE and is not a scientific image

Exotic black holes may be a byproduct of dark matter

Fifty years ago, physicist Stephen Hawking proposed that dark matter might be a population of black holes, which may have formed shortly after the Big Bang. They also existed for a short time but had an impact on

The antimatter in the proton is more "down" than "up"

A diagram illustrating the fusion process of two baryons, each of which contains one heavy quark and two light quarks. In fusion, all the quarks are repackaged in a more efficient way, thus creating a baryon containing two heavy quarks and one light quark, alongside a neutron containing three light quarks. In this process a large amount of energy is released. Credit: Prof. Mark Karliner.
