In the Super Proton Synchrotron, physicists have finally measured and quantified an invisible structure that can divert the course of the particles therein, and create problems for particle research.
Between 2016 and 2018, physicists recorded more than 100 rare, unstable hypernuclei – atomic cores that contain an unusual flavor of quark in one of their nuclear particles.
Physicists say they've found evidence in data from Europe's Large Hadron Collider for three never-before-seen combinations of quarks
XENON1T data from 2017-2018 has revealed an unexpected excess of low-energy interactions with the xenon’s electrons, more than the Standard Model of particle physics would predict.
Physicists from the Large Hadron Collider beauty (LHCb) Collaboration at CERN have discovered a previously unknown particle - a new charmonium particle.
This surprising conclusion emerges from new work published by theoreticians from Warsaw and Potsdam. The scheme they posit unifies all the forces of nature in a way that is consistent with existing observations.
The new and unknown particle is just over a fifth of the mass of the Higgs boson. There's nothing in any of the current models that predicts this mass. However, It's unlikely to be physics-breaking.
There are three types of neutrinos in the Standard Model, the blueprint of particle physics. Experimental results add evidence for the existence of a fourth, more mysterious type - the sterile neutrino.
Scientists have created, for the first time a three-dimensional skyrmion in a quantum gas. The skyrmion was predicted theoretically over 40 years ago, but only now has it been observed experimentally.
A team of high-energy experimental particle physicists has uncovered possible evidence of a subatomic quasiparticle dubbed an 'odderon' that - until now - had only been theorized to exist.
A pair of new research papers using theoretical methods have independently unearthed another new particle predicted by the laws of physics.
The Large Hadron Collider has once again done what it does best – smash bits of matter together and find new particles in the carnage.
Engineers at CERN took magnets originally designed for the LHC, combined them with X-ray focusing technology originally designed for space, and built a device that could spot axions arriving here from the Sun.
Based on experiments conducted in Hungary by another team of scientists that reached an erroneous conclusion, theoretical physicists at UC Irvine announced they may have come across a fifth fundamental force of nature.
Physicists on CERN's LHCb collaboration say they've observed three new exotic particles - X(4274), X(4500) and X(4700) - and also confirmed the existence of a fourth one, X(4140).
