A color blind painter and a physicist with expertise on the “color force” that binds together particles called quarks will be among the presenters at Buffalo’s next Science & Art Cabaret. The theme of ...

If we know one thing about innovation, it’s that widened perspectives lead to new ideas. Understanding how other forces work can widen your perspective on electromagnetism and maybe help you think of ...

What are the smallest building blocks in Nature? How do these particles build up everything we see around us? What forces act in Nature and how do they actually function? This year's Nobel Prize in ...

Quarks are found in protons and are bound together by forces which cause all other known forces of nature to fade. To understand the effects of these strong forces between the quarks is one of the ...

Another Science & Art Cabaret is on its way. This time the theme of the cabaret is “color”. That means that all of the talks by presenters will revolve around some super colorful topics. These talks ...

Stars are powered by nuclear fusion, in which two or more atomic nuclei have a close encounter and form one or more different nuclei 1. A key aspect of nuclear fusion is that the rearrangement of ...

Like a quantum version of a whirling top, protons have angular momentum, known as spin. But the source of the subatomic particles’ spin has confounded physicists. Now scientists have confirmed that ...

We’re made of flesh and bone and fat, which are in turn made of protons and electrons, which are (mostly) made of quarks. Which, even though they are the most basic form of matter, are a minuscule ...

The primordial soup of matter that existed only split-seconds after the Big Bang is now getting recreated in the most powerful particle colliders in the world. Such research could not only help shed ...

LAWRENCE -- A team of high-energy nuclear experimental particle physicists from the University of Kansas has earned a two-year, $400,000 Department of Energy (DoE) grant to investigate strong ...
