Parsing the Puzzle of Nucleon Spin
Newswise — NEWPORT NEWS, VA – Alexandre Deur has spent his career studying the mystifying spin structure of the nucleon — which is also one of the primary missions of…
Theory Offers a High-Resolution View of Quarks Inside Protons
The Science Newswise — Protons contain two up quarks and one down quark. New calculations predicting the spatial distributions of the charges, momentum, and other properties of the quarks within…
Quantum tool opens door to uncharted phenomena
The temperature profiles obtained by the researchers show that particles that interact strongly with the environment are “hot” (red) and those that interact little are “cold” (blue). Entanglement is therefore…
Scientists propose new method to search for deviations from the Standard Model of physics
Artwork depicting entangled molecules. Credit: Caltech/Lance Hayashida In the search for new particles and forces in nature, physicists are on the hunt for behaviors within atoms and molecules that are…

The formation of an excitonic Mott insulator state in a moiré superlattice
Credit: Lian et al. When a negatively charged electron and a positively charged hole in a pair remain bound together following excitation by light, they produce states known as excitons.…
