Then we found out that there are other types of quarks, the strange quark and the charm quark. Fermilab then discovered the bottom quark in 1977. Once the fifth quark was discovered it was widely ...

Moreover, even those quarks (the up and down that comprise a neutron) get compressed into an even rarer type of quark called a strange quark —hence the name strange star.

Neutron stars are so named because in the simplest of models they are made of neutrons. They form when the core of a large star collapses, and the weight of gravity causes atoms to collapse ...

The antihypernucleus contains a strange quark, making it a heavier cousin of antihydrogen-4. Physicists hope that studying such antimatter particles could shed light on why there is much more matter ...

Premium Scientists have reported that the insides of most massive neutron stars is most likely made of an unusual state of matter called quark matter Published - May 02, 2024 05:30 am IST ...

A quark star — or strange star, after the particular type of quark involved — is born. “My personal point of view is that there is probably no such a thing as a pure quark star,” says ...

They showed that the kaon could swap its strange quark with an up quark in the proton. This created a neutral pion and a so-called Λ-hyperon, consisting of up, down and strange quarks. The Λ-hyperon ...

The universe could be swarming with strange “quark stars.” Finding and studying them may hold the keys to breaking into brand new theories of physics. Quark stars mimic their more familiar ...

21 July 2023 Nothing strange about this pentaquark’s ‘strangeness’ The Large Hadron Collider yields a five-quark particle that includes a ‘strange’ quark, as predicted by theory.

A Mississippi State physicist and her colleagues are the first scientists to observe how subatomic particles—known as lambda particles—are formed, helping researchers learn more about their production ...

That would mean the original “quark-by-quark” conception of how tripartite particles such as lambdas form is correct. “Their data is interesting but the interpretation, I think, is a very ...

Just like a proton or electron in an atom, lambdas each have an “up” quark and a “down” quark. Lambdas, however, also have a “strange” quark.
