Groups of quarks hold more complex information that encode another level of entities, such as protons and neutrons. The interaction of the three valence quarks within each nucleon creates an electromagnetic signature that repulses protons from one another. What holds them together is the force released from their constituent quarks (residual strong force or nuclear force), that are exchanging information by releasing smaller groups of quarks and bosons in the form of mesons and gluons. The…

Physicists at Riken, a Japanese scientific research institute, recently found a way to show how extremely small amounts of heat can be manipulated to control magnetic whirlpools, otherwise known as skyrmions. This could be a stepping stone to creating more energy-efficient forms of computing. Skyrmions, information carriers, develop when the magnetic flux of atoms moves into specific patterns inside a material. Under some conditions, they organize into what’s called a skyrmion lattice.
