The quarks, antiquarks, and gluons of the standard model have a color charge, in addition to all the other properties like mass and electric charge that other particles and antiparticles possess. All ...

Building experimental evidence suggests that the electron, muon and tau may feel different forces. When the tau lepton was discovered in the 1970s, it didn’t resolve any outstanding mysteries—it ...

The particles that are in an atom: protons, neutrons and electrons The particles that are in protons and neutrons: quarks The four fundamental forces: gravity, electromagnetism, the strong force and ...

Physicists propose there may be a new stage for some dying stars. Dubbed electroweak stars, they are fueled by the conversion of quarks to leptons, which prevents or staves off collapse into a black ...

Can the discovery of the Higgs boson particle help with time travel?,” asked a young Vernon Area Public Library patron who attended the Science Explorers program. Quarks, leptons and bosons are ...

The Henryk Niewodniczanski Institute of Nuclear Physics Polish Academy of Sciences Electrons with 'colleagues' - other leptons - are one of many products of collisions observed in the LHCb experiment ...
