An experiment that offers a peek inside the behavior of subatomic particles called quarks could help answer questions about why the universe is made of matter, and might even be evidence of new, ...

Physicists observing data from the Large Hadron Collider beauty (LHCb) collaboration in Geneva have found three never-before-seen “exotic” particles, adding to a growing list of sub-atomic particles ...

Physicists at CERN have discovered an exotic new particle that’s quite charming. Known as T cc +, the particle belongs to a rare class called tetraquarks, and its unusual composition makes it the ...

The LHCb collaboration is far less famous than CMS or ATLAS, but the particles and antiparticles they produce, containing charm and bottom quarks, holds new physics hints that the other detectors ...

Scientists at the world's largest atom smasher have discovered the longest-lived exotic-matter particle ever observed, and it has twice the charm of anything discovered to date. Physicists have yet to ...

In particle physics, the term "strange matter" or "strange quark matter" refers to a hypothetical, soup-like existence, made of a trio of quarks. But what's so "strange" with this matter? According to ...

The world's most advanced particle accelerator for investigating the quark structure of the atom's nucleus has just charmed physicists with a new capability. The production of charm quarks in J/psi ...

The universe may contain extremely dense and exotic hypothetical cosmic objects known as strange quark stars. While astrophysicists continue to debate quark stars' existence, a team of physicists has ...
