As if atoms weren’t already mind-blowingly small, never mind subatomic particles, CERN researchers in the CMS Collaboration were sifting through data from the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) and ...

In a recent study, Muto and his team developed composite particles that exhibit good near-infrared absorption properties with huge potential for 3D printing technology through direct selective ...

So why stop there? Maybe what we call the fundamental particles of the universe are really composite structures of even smaller objects, the preons (as in "pre-quarks," not to be confused with prions.

A research team has successfully fine-tuned the Rabi oscillation of polaritons, quantum composite particles, by leveraging changes in electrical properties induced by crystal structure transformation.

When two such nuclei collide, they produce a quark–gluon plasma, a ‘soup’ of particles thought to be ... which normally exist only inside a composite particle such as a proton or neutron ...

Research highlights quantum entanglement's impact on jet fragmentation, connecting entanglement entropy to hadron formation ...

These novel hydrogen molybdenum bronze-molybdenum dioxide/carbon composite particles exhibit exceptional photothermal interface evaporation rate, wide-spectrum photocatalytic activity for the ...

The result is the formation of many new composite particles made of pairs or triplicates of quarks—collectively known as hadrons—that spray out of the collision in a coordinated way ...

They only ever appear as part of larger composite particles, such as protons and neutrons. There is a whole menagerie of such particles, formed of combinations of six types, or “flavours” of ...
