Scientists working at CERN's Large Hadron Collider Beauty (LHCb) experiment announced that they have finally figured out the structure of an exotic particle known as the pentaquark, meaning a group of ...

The mass of the doubly charmed baryon observed in the LHCb experiment 1 3621.40 ± 0.78 MeV is consistent with several predictions 2, including that of 3,627 ± 12 MeV (an extensive list of other ...

The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is not just the biggest particle accelerator on our planet. It also produces smashing headlines for the news in science. On June 4, scientists working at the two of the ...

Physicist Murray Gell-Mann was awarded the Nobel Prize in 1969 for his discoveries related to elementary particles—one of which he whimsically named quarks after perusing a rather famous literary work ...

The weak nuclear force doesn't play by the normal rules — and, in fact, it breaks one of the biggest rules of all.

Scientists have overcome huge barriers in the past year to get us even closer to nuclear fusion, and with it a near-limitless supply of clean energy. But, what if there's something far more powerful ...
