The atom is a complex system of particles. It's made up of a central nucleus consisting of protons and neutrons, called nucleons, with electrons orbiting around the nucleus. Nobel prize-winning ...

Each particle has its own charge and its own mass.

Einstein may have been troubled enough by entanglement to call it "spooky action at a distance" but scientists have discovered it operates at small scales between quarks and gluons in protons.
