Polarized proton containing spinning quarks and gluons (represented by right-handed and left-handed spirals). The negative Δg solutions (blue) are disfavored relative to the positive Δg solutions (red ...

Scientists show how quantum computing could be a game-changer in our understanding of quantum processes. When two heavy ions collide inside a particle accelerator, they produce a near-perfect fluid ...

The subatomic particle discovered last year at Europe's Large Hadron Collider is looking more and more like the fabled Higgs boson, the one fundamental piece that's been missing from the theory that ...
