⚛️ Les Quarks en quelques minutes… qu’y a-t-il au cœur de la matière ? ✨

Have you ever wondered what's inside a proton or neutron? For many years, scientists considered them elementary particles, until a groundbreaking discovery revealed they contain even more fundamental building blocks: quarks. In this episode, we explore how these invisible particles construct matter and why they can never be observed in isolation. You'll discover: 🔹 What quarks are and why they are the true building blocks of matter. 🔹 The six flavors of quarks and their organization into three generations in the Standard Model. 🔹 Why they possess fractional electric charges, unique among all known particles. 🔹 How they combine to form protons, neutrons, mesons, and other hadrons. 🔹 The role of gluons and the strong interaction, which holds quarks together. 🔹 Why no quark has ever been observed in isolation, despite decades of experimental research. A clear and captivating journey into the heart of the most mysterious particles of matter, to understand how modern physics describes the deepest structure of the Universe.
