In their search for more flavors of Higgs bosons, a team of researchers at CERN stumbled across what could be evidence of the smallest matter-antimatter particle ever. The hypoethical particle, known ...

Proton collisions at the LHC appear wildly chaotic, but new data reveal a surprising underlying order. The findings confirm that a basic rule of quantum mechanics holds true even in extreme particle ...

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 ...

Inside the most powerful particle colliders on Earth, protons slam together at nearly the speed of light, shredding matter ...

Since its inception in 2008, the LHC (large hadron collider) at CERN has been a key player in pushing the boundaries of particle physics research. Consisting of four main experiments, the circular ...

Observational first: physicists have used the ATLAS experiment at CERN to observe the production of top-quark and photon pairs. (Courtesy: CERN) For the first time, particle physicists have observed ...

Murray Gell-Mann made many pioneering contributions to particle physics. (Credit: CERN) The theoretical particle physicist Murray Gell-Mann, who was awarded the 1969 Nobel Prize for Physics, has died ...

NEWPORT NEWS, VA – Inside the nucleus of the atom, the building blocks of matter are anything but static. Individual particles are in a constant state of energetic motion, like dancers on a dance ...

Probing ever deeper into the inner world of the atom, nuclear physicists have uncovered an increasingly baffling collection of tiny particles. Besides the familiar neutrons, electrons and protons, ...
