Physicists have struggled for seven decades with the question of why there is more matter in the universe than antimatter.

Scientists have achieved an incredible feat—mapping the forces inside a proton with extreme precision, uncovering the immense ...

Scientists have recently made a significant breakthrough in understanding the structure of matter. For the first time, they have mapped the forces within protons with unprecedented ... Continue Readin ...

They were wrong. It would take an effort by hundreds of scientists from 13 nations and the construction of two powerful particle detectors to hunt down the top quark. Over the next few years ...

Ireland is set to apply for associate membership status of the major European scientific body today – but why has it taken so long?

Dark matter is an elusive type of matter that does not emit, absorb or reflect light and is thus impossible to detect using conventional techniques employed in particle physics. In recent years ...

Do top quarks, nature's heaviest elementary particle, obey Einstein's rules at all times of day and night? Scientists at the Large Hadron Collider have the answer.

There are six "flavors" of quark with increasing masses ... the direction of the proton beams generated for particle collisions in the powerful particle accelerator changes.

The CMS team set about searching for such remnants of Lorentz symmetry breaking using pairs of nature's heaviest elementary particle, the top quark. Breaking space news, the latest updates on ...

The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is the world's largest and highest-energy particle accelerator. It was built by the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) in collaboration with over ...

A simplified visualisation of the 23 exotic hadrons discovered so far at the LHC. Each particle contains at least one charm quark and a mixture of up, down and strange quarks. Quark and hadron masses ...
