CERN’s Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is designed to probe the fringes of known physics, and now the facility has found particles not behaving as predicted. While it’s still early days, the discovery ...

Scientists working at CERN's Large Hadron Collider Beauty (LHCb) experiment announced that they have finally figured out the structure of an exotic particle known as the pentaquark, meaning a group of ...

Scientists from the CMS collaboration at CERN have measured the speed of sound in the quark-gluon plasmas with record precision, a key step to understanding how matter behaved in the very early ...

Scientists working on the world's leading particle collider experiments have joined forces, combined their data and produced the first joint result from Fermilab's Tevatron and CERN's Large Hadron ...

The ALICE experiment of the Large Hadron Collider has, for the first time, directly measured a phenomenon known as the "deadcone," which has allowed physicists to directly measure the mass of a ...

Researchers at the CERN Large Hadron Collider have discovered a doubly charming new particle, which has long been theorized to exist. Named Ξ cc ++ (Xi cc ++) (and no, we don't know how to pronounce ...

The LHCb experiment at CERN's Large Hadron Collider has reported the observation of Xicc++ -- a new particle containing two charm quarks and one up quark. The existence of this particle from the ...

In the first joint result from the world's two leading particle colliders, scientists have determined the mass of the heaviest elementary particle, the top quark. The measurement was made using the ...

News Brief: Experiments at Europe’s Large Hadron Collider have produced hard-to-come-by evidence of interactions between the Higgs boson and top quarks. The findings, announced today at a conference ...
