The new baryon “Xi-cc-plus” decays into other particles almost instantly, but its existence could paint a clearer picture on a subatomic subject.

Like ghosts in the void, virtual particles can materialize from (almost) nothing.

Explore the intriguing 'flavour puzzle' in particle physics, uncovering the mysteries behind subatomic particles and their ...

The particles that are in an atom: protons, neutrons and electrons The particles that are in protons and neutrons: quarks The four fundamental forces: gravity, electromagnetism, the strong force and ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. Scientists have used CERN's Large Hadron Collider (LHC) to uncover what they say is an entirely new type of particle, dubbed Xi-cc ...

Schematic picture of the predicted Tetraquark, T bc, made of four quarks: beauty, charm quarks and two light anti-quarks. Exploring the complex domain of subatomic particles, researchers at the The ...

Subatomic particles such as quarks can pair up when linked by ‘strings’ of force fields — and release energy when the strings are pulled to the point of breaking. Two teams of physicists have now used ...

Some neutron stars probably have something strange lurking in their cores, according to a recent study. Neutron stars are already some of the most peculiar objects in the universe. They contain enough ...

The scientific world has long known that atoms form the basic building blocks of matter, but CERN is interested in peering beyond the atom into the mesonic and baryonic soup that gives rise to matter ...
