Physicists just discovered a brand-new particle that appears to be an exotic cousin to the protons and neutrons that make up ...

Over a century ago, Ernest Rutherford discovered the proton by splitting the atom in a laboratory in Manchester. Today, researchers based in Manchester have discovered a new particle that Rutherford ...

The LHCb collaboration at CERN has confirmed the existence of a doubly charmed baryon, a particle that behaves like a heavier cousin of the proton but contains two charm quarks instead of the lighter ...

A new subatomic particle known as the Ξcc⁺ has been discovered at CERN’s Large Hadron Collider. This heavy proton-like particle contains two charm quarks and was detected using the upgraded LHCb ...

CERN scientists have uncovered a new proton-like particle, the Ξcc+, revealing a heavier and long-predicted member of the subatomic world.

The new particle, named Xi-cc-plus, carries two heavy charm quarks and is about four times heavier than an ordinary proton.

Look alive, science fans — a new subatomic particle has just dropped after a 20-year search. Discovered by British researchers at the nuclear research laboratory CERN near Geneva, Switzerland, the ...

Scientists studying particle collisions at CERN have captured new evidence of how quarks move through the early universe’s primordial plasma.

Physicists love the Higgs boson, but they hate the God particle. The elusive Higgs particle, which scientists at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) particle accelerator announced Tuesday (Dec. 13) that ...

Failure is a necessity in scientific research. In my field of particle physics, breakthroughs are often measured in decades.

Scientists from the University of Manchester have played a leading role in the discovery of a new subatomic particle at ...
