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

The Large Hadron Collider has discovered a new particle, the 80th identified so far by the world's most powerful particle ...

Physicists just discovered a brand-new particle that appears to be an exotic cousin to the protons and neutrons that make up ...

Scientists at CERN’s Large Hadron Collider (LHC) have for the first time observed a fundamental asymmetry in the behavior of baryons, the particles that form the bulk of all visible matter. The ...

A new type of particle has been discovered by scientists at CERN using data from last year's run of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). The particle opens the door to a "new frontier" of physics, ...

Two recent studies by Professor Stefano Profumo at the University of California, Santa Cruz, propose theories that attempt to answer one of the most fundamental open questions in modern physics: What ...

Scientists at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign have confirmed the existence of a massless particle, long theorized by physicist David Pines’ theory. This particle, known as the “demon,” ...
