The new particle, named Xi-cc-plus, carries two heavy charm quarks and is about four times heavier than an ordinary proton.

Estimating things that exist is generally easy, but when it comes to estimating things that do not exist, it's more difficult. This is something physicists from Poland and the UK are well aware of. To ...

Physicists working on the LHCb experiment have spotted an elusive and fleeting particle, a heavier and more charming cousin to the proton, that has been sought for decades ...

Should the universe “choose” braneworld, it could mean that your senses (which perceive fewer dimensions) are keeping you from experiencing the full number of dimensions surrounding you. This could ...

For decades, physicists have debated whether the searing plasma born from the Big Bang truly behaved like a liquid. A bold ...

About 13.8 billion years ago, the origin of the universe began with the Big Bang. Scientists say all space, time, matter, and ...

Scientists studying particle collisions at CERN have captured new evidence of how quarks move through the early universe’s primordial plasma.

Estimating things that exist is generally easy, but when it comes to estimating things that do not exist, it’s more difficult. This is something physicists from Poland and the UK are well aware of. To ...

Dark matter, time travel and meta theatre: Emma Howlett on Aether - Emma Howlett, one of theatre’s most exciting new voices, talks us through the dizzying ride that is Aether at the Jermyn Street Thea ...

CERN engineers have developed a fleet of small, AI-powered robots designed to race through the pipe networks of the Large Hadron Collider, and the project’s nickname tells you almost everything you ...

Gravity is by far the weakest of nature’s four fundamental forces, and physicists have spent decades asking a deceptively simple question: why? One answer, first sketched a century ago and refined ...
