Physicists Observe the Higgs Boson's Elusive Decay 2018-08-29T04:00:00Z Within months, they made further discoveries that confirmed their interpretation of the particle as a charm quark. Burton Richter (1931–2018) 2018-08-27T04:00:00Z For example, its three quarks account for less than 5% of its mass, the rest arising somehow from energy of the virtual quarks and gluons. Scientists endorse billion-dollar collider to look inside protons and neutrons 2018-07-24T04:00:00Z When a combination of quarks has color other than white, it exerts extremely large forces—even larger than the strong force—and perhaps cannot be stable or permanently separated.
