CERN’s Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is designed to probe the fringes of known physics, and now the facility has found particles not behaving as predicted. While it’s still early days, the discovery ...

Immediately after the Big Bang boomed, the Universe was a trillion-degree ' soup ' of unimaginably dense plasma. In a ...

Scientists working at CERN's Large Hadron Collider Beauty (LHCb) experiment announced that they have finally figured out the structure of an exotic particle known as the pentaquark, meaning a group of ...

The CMS and ATLAS experiments at CERN’s Large Hadron Collider have observed an unforeseen feature in the behaviour of top quarks that suggests that these heaviest of all elementary particles form a ...

Why didn’t the universe annihilate itself moments after the big bang? A new finding at Cern on the French-Swiss border brings us closer to answering this fundamental question about why matter ...

Particle physics is using ever more interdisciplinary means to seek ever more exotic phenomena, Robert P Crease finds, but ...

No pairs: the first ‘open flavour’ tetraquark has been spotted at CERN (Courtesy: Shutterstock/paul_june) The first tetraquark composed of four quarks of ...

Physicists at CERN have discovered an exotic new particle that’s quite charming. Known as T cc +, the particle belongs to a rare class called tetraquarks, and its unusual composition makes it the ...
