It's still too early to tell if GW190425 is our first observation of a rare strange quark star, but future observations (and more theoretical work) may help astronomers pin down one of these ...

There are plenty of types of stars out there, but one stands out for being just a little weirder than the others. You might ...

A strange planet orbiting or merging with a strange quark star should give off gravitational waves that are distinct from those emitted by pairs of neutron stars and normal planets because of the ...

The universe may contain extremely dense and exotic hypothetical cosmic objects known as strange quark stars. While astrophysicists continue to debate quark stars' existence, a team of physicists has ...

One of them is called the strange quark, which is like a heavier version of the down quark. When you put a strange quark with ...

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 ...

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 ...

The quark combinations in these previously found tetraquarks and pentaquarks mostly included a charm quark and a charm antiquark, with the remaining two or three being an up, down or strange quark ...

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 ...

After years of research and analysis, nuclear physicists at the Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility have discovered how something strange can come from the ordinary. The physicists have … ...

Contact: Sam Kealhofer STARKVILLE, Miss.—A Mississippi State physicist and her colleagues are the first scientists to observe how subatomic particles—known as lambda particles—are formed, helping ...
