Look alive, science fans — a new subatomic particle has just dropped after a 20-year search. Discovered by British ...

Scientists have used CERN's Large Hadron Collider (LHC) to uncover what they say is an entirely new type of particle, dubbed ...

Over a century ago, Ernest Rutherford discovered the proton by splitting the atom in a laboratory in Manchester. Today, researchers based in Manchester have discovered a new particle that Rutherford ...

Spread the loveIn a groundbreaking discovery that has been two decades in the making, scientists at CERN have unveiled a heavy cousin of the proton, known as the Ξcc+. This exciting find not only ...

A new subatomic particle known as the Ξcc⁺ has been discovered at CERN’s Large Hadron Collider. This heavy proton-like particle contains two charm quarks and was detected using the upgraded LHCb ...

In a discovery that has physicists relearning how to count, three teams around the globe report that they have identified a subatomic particle consisting of five quarks -- a number never before seen ...

Scientists have proposed a new kind of subatomic particle to explain another particle’s mysterious disintegration. The kaon, a special case of meson particle, is made of one quark and one antiquark.

Physicists may have yet another fundamental particle left to discover. When physicists at the Large Hardon Collider discovered the Higgs boson back in 2012, they’d found the last missing piece of the ...
