Study Sheds Light on the Distribution of Strong Force Inside Protons

A pressure cooker environment exists within every proton in every atom & this environment exceeds the atom-crushing core of a neutron star. This is demonstrated by the initial measurement of a mechanical property of subatomic particles, the distribution of pressure within the proton.

New Topological Phase Transition in Quantum Materials

Transitions between varying phases of matter are part of people’s daily lives: e.g. when water freezes, it changes from a liquid to solid state. Some of these transitions could be different, ensuing from professed topological excitations that cause all the particles to act in harmony.
