Quarks make up all matter, but have never been seen by themselves. And they have “flavors” and “colors” — though neither term has any relevance to what they actually do. Let’s take a look at why we ...

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 ...

Newly discovered particles have incited a fierce debate among experts about the correct picture of matter at the quantum scale. In August 2003, an experiment at the KEKB particle accelerator in Japan ...

Quarks are elementary fermions that constitute a fundamental physical system underlying hadronic matter in the Standard Model of particle physics. They carry color charge and interact via the strong ...

The internal structure of a proton, with quarks, gluons, and quark spin shown. The nuclear force acts like a spring, with negligible force when unstretched but large, attractive forces when stretched ...
