The new baryon “Xi-cc-plus” decays into other particles almost instantly, but its existence could paint a clearer picture on ...

Over a century ago, Ernest Rutherford discovered the proton by splitting the atom in a laboratory in Manchester. Today, ...

Snappily named Xi-cc-plus, Cern physicists spotted the particle in shower of debris that lit up Large Hadron Collider Scientists at the Cern nuclear physics laboratory near Geneva have discovered a ...

Scientists at CERN, a nuclear physics laboratory near Geneva, have discovered a new subatomic particle. The newly discovered particle is a heavier version of a proton, the building block of all known ...

Physicists just discovered a brand-new particle that appears to be an exotic cousin to the protons and neutrons that make up atoms. Those mundane subatomic particles are made up of even smaller ...

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.

Quantum physics paints a strange picture of the world, one filled with spooky connections, unsettling uncertainties and—perhaps oddest of all—particles that spontaneously spring into being from the ...

Sebastian Mizera grew up in Krakow, Poland, studied in the United Kingdom and Canada, and worked at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, New Jersey, before making his way to New York City ...

For decades, scientists have scavenged for mysterious the “ghost particles” known as neutrinos, which are subatomic particles with no mass and almost no electrical charge. Despite their elusive nature ...
