Inside the most powerful particle colliders on Earth, protons slam together at nearly the speed of light, shredding matter ...

Scientists develop groundbreaking theory for calculating what’s happening inside a proton travelling at the speed of light. For more than 2,000 years, scientists thought the atom was the smallest ...

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 ...

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 ...

The proton is stretchier than we thought, according to new measurements. But physicists are divided on whether this anomaly will persist in future measurements or if our fundamental understanding of ...

Protons sit in the nuclei of all atoms, but they are not fundamental particles: They are made of three quarks held together ...

A century ago, scientists first detected the proton in the atomic nucleus. Yet, much about its contents remains a mystery. Scientists report a new theory for understanding what's inside protons moving ...

NEWPORT NEWS, VA – Nuclear physicists have confirmed that the current description of proton structure isn’t all smooth sailing. A new precision measurement of the proton’s electric polarizability ...
