  1. The smallest-ever force field map of nature.

    Physicists have mapped the forces acting inside a #proton, showing in unprecedented detail how #quarks—the tiny #particles within—respond when hit by high-energy #photons.

    The new result breaks down #space and #time into a fine grid, allowing simulating how the strong force—the fundamental interaction that binds quarks into #protons and #neutrons—varies across different regions inside the proton.
