Pioneering the Nuclear Glue Frontier
A team of physicists has embarked on a journey where few others have gone: into the glue that binds atomic nuclei. The resultant measurement, which was extracted from experimental data taken at the U.S. Department of Energy's Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility, is the first of its kind and will help physicists image particles called gluons. The paper revealing the results was published May 22 and featured as an editor's suggestion in Physical Review Letters.
