Over a century ago, Ernest Rutherford discovered the proton by splitting the atom in a laboratory in Manchester. Today, researchers based in Manchester have discovered a new particle that Rutherford ...

Physicists just discovered a brand-new particle that appears to be an exotic cousin to the protons and neutrons that make up ...

The LHCb collaboration at CERN has confirmed the existence of a doubly charmed baryon, a particle that behaves like a heavier cousin of the proton but contains two charm quarks instead of the lighter ...

In the development of particle physics, researchers have introduced an innovative particle encoding mechanism that promises to improve how information in particle physics is digitally registered and ...

Two independent lines of evidence from the world’s most powerful particle experiments are converging on the same uncomfortable conclusion: something is producing signals that the Standard Model of ...

Physicists have ruled out a mundane explanation for the strange findings of an old Soviet experiment, leaving open the possibility that the results point to a new fundamental particle. Deep in the ...

A lot of the science from our accelerators is published long after collisions end, so storing experimental data for future physicists is crucial. About a billion pairs of particles collide every ...

A proposed funding program for small- and medium-scale projects reveals insights into the science, logistical challenges, and future of particle physics research. Particle physicists have a reputation ...

The particles that are in an atom: protons, neutrons and electrons The particles that are in protons and neutrons: quarks The four fundamental forces: gravity, electromagnetism, the strong force and ...

The most beautiful experiment in physics, according to a poll of Physics World readers, is the interference of single electrons in a Young’s double slit. Robert P Crease reports Simply beautiful – the ...
