The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is in the business of discovering new subatomic particles—and business is good. The team at CERN recently announced the discovery of a new particle, named Ξcc⁺ or Xi-cc ...

Particle accelerators reveal the heart of nuclear matter by smashing together atoms at close to the speed of light. The high-energy collisions produce a shower of subatomic fragments that scientists ...

Neutrino particles have extremely small masses, yet there are so many of them that they carve out the large-scale structure of the entire universe. Scientists are getting close to figuring out how.

A phenomenon known as the Russell-McPherron effect can make the Northern Lights stronger around the equinoxes, as the Earth’s ...

Look alive, science fans — a new subatomic particle has just dropped after a 20-year search. Discovered by British researchers at the nuclear research laboratory CERN near Geneva, Switzerland, the ...

Researchers at CERN have utilized the world’s largest and most powerful particle accelerator to detect a new heavy-proton like particle which contains two charm quarks and one down quark. The ...

A new particle has popped into existence at CERN’s Large Hadron Collider, a heavier proton-like particle that contains two charm quarks. Protons and neutrons are examples of a class of particles ...

Scientists from the University of Manchester have played a leading role in the discovery of a new subatomic particle at CERN's Large Hadron Collider (LHC). The particle, known as the Ξ cc ⁺ ...
