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.

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.

Physicists just witnessed quasiparticles forming for the first time ever

For the first time, scientists have observed the formation of quasiparticles - a strange phenomenon observed in certain solids - in real time, something that physicists have been struggling to do for decades.

Cosmic buckyball particle 'factory' discovered

For the first time, buckyballs have been discovered in the cosmos in a solid form in the vicinity of a binary star system 6,500 light-years away.
