The Proton Just Got Smaller
VILLIGEN, Switzerland, July 12, 2010 — In a discovery that could poke holes in the theory of quantum electrodynamics (QED), scientists have discovered that the proton, one of the smallest building blocks of all matter, is actually 4 percent smaller than previously thought. Part of the laser facility needed for the experiment for the determination of the radius of the proton. Here, invisible infrared laser pulses are transformed into green laser light. (PSI/F. Reiser) The threatened theory describes how light and matter inter...
