quarks

Researchers report that a quantum simulator has captured a process capable of breaking quark strings, the gluon-based connections that bind quarks inside particles like protons. String breaking is a key phenomenon in quantum chromodynamics that is extremely hard to model with classical computers, so simulating it directly is seen as a significant step for studying how matter behaves at its most fundamental level.

GAC Group's Quark electric drive technology has received a top award at the Geneva International Inventions Exhibition. The recognition highlights the Chinese automaker's advances in electric vehicle propulsion, as GAC seeks to build its international profile in the competitive EV market. The Geneva exhibition is one of the world's largest invention and technology fairs.
