In September 2024, physicists made a discovery at CERN that could change how we understand the universe. For the first time, scientists saw quantum entanglement, the mysterious link between particles, ...

Quarks are elemental particles, with no sub-structure. Understanding them is crucial to learning how physics works on the smallest levels. By studying collisions of incredibly small particles made up ...

It's been over half a decade since scientists working with the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) managed to capture what they believed was the elusive "God Particle" that would help tie together a few loose ...

Protons are complicated. The subatomic particles are themselves composed of smaller particles called quarks and gluons. Now, data from the Large Hadron Collider hint that protons’ constituents don’t ...

Bottoms up: physicists working on the ATLAS experiment have discovered the most common Higgs decay channel. (Courtesy: Maximilien Brice/CERN) Physicists working on the ATLAS experiment at CERN have ...

In a never-before-seen particle, four quarks of a feather flock together. Physicists think they have detected the first conglomerate of four quarks incorporating more than two of the same kind. This ...
