LHC experiment shows potential evidence of quasiparticle sought for decades

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.

Two Teams Have Found Evidence of an Exotic New Particle

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 just detected a new particle

The Large Hadron Collider has once again done what it does best – smash bits of matter together and find new particles in the carnage.

The LHC is starting another year of high-energy physics

The first stable proton beams of the year have arrived at CERN.

Physicists might have just found a primordial state of matter in rare proton collisions

Physicists at CERN have reported an unexplained phenomenon in their giant ion collider device - for the first time ever, particles called 'strange hadrons' have been observed in rare proton collisions.

Cosmic connection: Structural similarity found in both human cells and neutron stars

We humans may be more aligned with the universe than we realize. Scientists have discovered that neutron stars and cell cytoplasm have something in common: structures that resemble multistory parking garages.

Greek teachers learn ABCs of particle physics at CERN

CERN’s CMS Experiment has organized a new pilot training program, titled “Playing with Protons,” which allows teachers to get acquainted with the basics of particle physics and subsequently transfer their experiences and knowledge to their pupils.

Physicists at UCI Confirm Possible Discovery of 5th Force of Nature

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.

Proton Radius Puzzle Deepens With New Measurement

The new finding, to appear on August 12 in Science, increases the slim chance that something is truly amiss, rather than simply mismeasured, in the heart of atoms.

CERN Physicists Observe Three New Tetraquark Particles

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).

Antimatter, annihilation and a universe that shouldn't exist

Antimatter is at the heart of one of the great mysteries in modern physics — why our universe has stuff in it.

Is Particle Physics About to Crack Wide Open?

Hints of an unexpected new particle could be confirmed within day. And if it is, the Standard Model could be going down

Five ways to travel through time

Travel to the past is probably impossible. But the future is a different story.

Big, beautiful photos of insane physics experiments chasing the 'ghost particle'

Scientists call it the 'ghost particle'. Meet the neutrino, which scientists hope will help them answer dozens of critical questions about the Universe.
