In their search for more flavors of Higgs bosons, a team of researchers at CERN stumbled across what could be evidence of the smallest matter-antimatter particle ever. The hypoethical particle, known ...

Astrophysicists are closing in on one of the strangest possibilities in stellar evolution, a compact remnant that might sit ...

Researchers from the University of Rochester have helped measure the elusive top quark with unparalleled precision, and the surprising results affect everything from the Higgs boson, nicknamed the ...

Researchers at CERN’s Large Hadron Collider (LHC) have detected a phenomenon that happens only every trillion proton collisions, after observing the production of a single top quark along with a W and ...

Since its inception in 2008, the LHC (large hadron collider) at CERN has been a key player in pushing the boundaries of particle physics research. Consisting of four main experiments, the circular ...

Trillions of times smaller than a grain of sand and smaller than an atomic proton or neutron, quarks are among the smallest particles in the universe. They are essentially building blocks for ...

Protons may be intrinsically charming. The subatomic particles are a mash-up of three lighter particles called quarks: two of the type known as up quarks and one down quark. But physicists have ...

Protons can hold an elementary particle heavier than themselves. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission. Here’s how it works. Protons may have more "charm" ...
