Physicists at CERN’s Large Hadron Collider have uncovered new hints that certain particle decays may not behave as the ...

Protons might be stretchier than they should be. The subatomic particles are built of smaller particles called quarks, which are bound together by a powerful interaction known as the strong force. New ...

Quarks are elemental particles, with no sub-structure. Understanding them is crucial to learning how physics works on the smallest levels. By studying collisions of incredibly small particles made up ...

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 ...

Particle physics dives into the very depths of the universe – the particles that make up atoms. Over the past century, we ...

From the outside, the high-speed collisions of atomic nuclei inside particle accelerators like CERN’s Large Hadron Collider (LHC) may seem like they have very little in common with more mundane ...

In a never-before-seen particle, four quarks of a feather flock together. Physicists think they have detected the first conglomerate of four quarks incorporating more than two of the same kind. This ...

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 ...

Top result: An artist's impression of top-quark entanglement. The line between the particles emphasizes the non-separability of the top-quark pair, which is produced by LHC collisions and recorded by ...

As they probe deeper into the heart of the atom, discovering ever smaller and more mysterious particles and particles within particles, scientists have succeeded in bringing the once stable world of ...
