Protons are the basis of bioenergetics. We know them, in our everyday life, from the pH values we see on various soaps and lotions. But the ability to move them through biological systems is essential ...

Calculating a proton's spin used to be an easy college assignment. In fact, Carl Gagliardi remembers answering that question when he was a physics graduate student in the 1970s. But the real answer ...

Like ghosts in the void, virtual particles can materialize from (almost) nothing.

NEWPORT NEWS, VA – Nuclear physicists have long been working to reveal how the proton gets its spin. Now, a new method that combines experimental data with state-of-the-art calculations has revealed a ...

Quantum physics is usually associated with particle colliders and vacuum chambers, not with the proteins quietly shuttling energy inside our cells. Yet a new line of research argues that protons in ...
