CERN, the world’s largest atom smasher, says it has observed three new "exotic particles" while carrying out its third run of collisions. After a three-year pause for maintenance and routine checks, ...

Since my blog on the topic last week, speculation has intensified even further over whether CERN scientists are on the cusp of announcing the official discovery of the Higgs boson. The reason being ...

The LHCb collaboration at CERN has announced the discovery of a new exotic particle: a so-called “tetraquark”. The paper by more than 800 authors is yet to be evaluated by other scientists in a ...

Researchers at CERN’s Large Hadron Collider (LHC) have discovered a new particle in their work on the LHC beauty (LHCb) experiment. The Standard Model of particle physics predicts that particles like ...

CERN’s historic discovery of the elusive Higgs boson --- the subatomic particle thought to be at the root of what gives normal matter its mass --- may actually represent only a portion of a more ...

It was a breakthrough that took almost half a century of deep thought, more than 30 years of painstaking experimentation and a massive £2.6bn machine. Yesterday, scientists said they believed they had ...
