Proton

A look at the internal structure of a proton shows why its mass is not equal to its size

(ORDO NEWS) — A modest proton is the core of the material Universe. Its characteristics define chemistry, manipulating the clusters of electrons that turn atoms into molecules and molecules into dazzling complexity. Whatever we understand about its behavior, the proton’s internal structure is a chaotic mess of activity that scientists are still trying to decipher. A new experiment at the US Department of Energy’s Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility is…
