The photons mingled freely with quarks, the smallest building blocks of matter. When the universe was 0.00001 seconds old, quarks combined to form protons and neutrons. When the universe was 0.01 seconds old, protons and neutrons began to organize into atoms. Finally, when the universe was the...

In hindsight, the name "atom", referring to something fundamentally un-splittable, is rather inaccurate. Not only are atoms formed from smaller particles (protons and neutrons, which in turn are formed from quarks, and electrons), but they can also very much be split. Indeed, "splitting the...
High-energy collisions ofatomic nucleiprovide a unique opportunity to recreate thequark-gluon plasma(QGP) in the laboratory, for a brief moment. The QGP is a fundamental, extremely hot form of nuclear matter in whichprotonsandneutronsdissolve into quarks and gluons. It filled theearly universein...
In the 1960's, when the electrons were fired into the protons by the Stanford linear accelerator, then the subatomic particles known as quarks were...Become a member and unlock all Study Answers Start today. Try it now Create an account Ask a question Our experts can answer your tough ...
Why do protons always have the same valence quarks? If an atom loses electrons to become an ion, then it has what charge? How does the energy in the third shell of an atom compare to the energy of an electron in the first shell of the same atom? How does the energy on the third ...
as we can’t produce enough energy in our experiments to probe the sort of processes that were going on at the time. But a plausible hypothesis is that the physical world was made up of a soup of short-lived elementary particles – including quarks, the building blocks of protons and neut...
Atoms are made up of a nucleus, protons and electrons. ... Atoms were createdafter the Big Bang 13.7 billion years ago. As the hot, dense new universe cooled, conditions became suitable for quarks and electrons to form. Quarks came together to form protons and neutrons, and these particles...
