What Holds Matter Together? Physicists Find Breakthrough Evidence After 50 Years
According to research published in Science, new evidence from the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) suggests that a proton’s baryon number is carried by a Y-shaped “baryon junction” of massless gluons rather than its three valence quarks, potentially resolving a decades-old particle physics mystery regarding matter and antimatter. Unraveling the Proton’s Structural Mystery at RHIC … Read more
