Physicists in Germany and Hungary claim that ultracold atoms in an optical lattice could be used to simulate certain aspects of quantum chromodynamics (QCD) -- the theory that describes how quarks are ...

Particle physicists in the US have gained new insights into what happens when a high-energy photon scatters inelastically off a proton. According to perturbative quantum chromodynamics, the momentum ...

A new study published in Physical Review D titled, "Extending the Bridge Connecting Chiral Lagrangians and QCD Gaussian Sum-Rules for Low-Energy Hadronic Physics," offers significant advancements in ...

Neutron stars, the remnants of massive stars after a supernova explosion, have often been the focus of studies aimed at testing and unveiling exotic physics. This is because these stars are among the ...

Computers help physicists solve complicated calculations. But some of these calculations are so complex, a regular computer is not enough. In fact, some advanced calculations tax even the largest ...

Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) is the theory of quarks and gluons, and has wide applicability in collider physics experiments such as the LHC. Gravity is described by a very different theory (General ...

The strongest force in the universe is called, aptly, the strong force. We never get to witness its fearsome power because it works only across subatomic distances, where it binds quarks together ...
