When you throw two rocks into a pond of water, side-by-side, the ripples created by the rocks will collide and annihilate each other in some areas and combine to make bigger ripples in others.

Scientists have now mapped the forces acting inside a proton, showing in unprecedented detail how quarks—the tiny particles within—respond when hit by high-energy photons. The international team ...

New force distributions revealed by the calculations, on top of the probability map of finding a quark in the proton. Scientists have now mapped the forces acting inside a proton, showing in ...

A new precision measurement of the proton's electric polarizability has confirmed an unexplained bump in the data. The proton's electric polarizability shows how susceptible the proton is to ...

Proton probe: the MINERvA experiment at Fermilab has been used to study the structure of the proton using neutrinos. (Courtesy: Reidar Hahn/Fermilab) Following a bold suggestion from a postdoc ...

Much is already known about the proton’s electric charge; it arises because of the electrically charged quarks whizzing around inside the proton. This motion defines the proton’s ‘electric charge ...

Physicists used MINERvA, a Fermilab neutrino experiment, to measure the proton’s size and structure using a neutrino-scattering technique. For the first time, particle physicists have been able to ...

For the first time, particle physicists have been able to precisely measure the proton’s size and structure using neutrinos. With data gathered from thousands of neutrino-hydrogen scattering events ...

The small but ubiquitous proton serves as a foundation for the bulk of the visible matter in the universe. It abides at the very heart of matter, giving rise to everything we see around us as it ...

CHAMPAIGN, Ill. — An international team of nuclear physicists has determined that particles called strange quarks do, indeed, contribute to the ordinary properties of the proton. Quarks are subatomic ...
