Force as strong as 10 compressed elephants rests inside a proton, suggests study
SMRTR summary
A new study reveals that forces inside a proton are equivalent to about 10 compressed elephants, reaching up to half a million Newtons. Using lattice quantum chromodynamics, researchers mapped these immense forces within a space smaller than an atomic nucleus, potentially improving nuclear physics understanding and applications like proton therapy for cancer treatment.
