The experiment, titled "Quark Propagation through Cold QCD Matter," probed Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD), a fundamental theory of particle physics that describes the interactions of the basic building ...

Is there a time of day or night at which nature's heaviest elementary particle stops obeying Einstein's rules? The answer to that question, as bizarre as it seems, could tell scientists something very ...

Top result: An artist's impression of top-quark entanglement. The line between the particles emphasizes the non-separability of the top-quark pair, which is produced by LHC collisions and recorded by ...

Batavia, Ill.—Scientists of the CDF and DZero collaborations at the Department of Energy's Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory have observed particle collisions that produce single top quarks. The ...

A supercomputer simulation of the "primordial soup" has revealed that its inner structure is surprisingly complex. When our universe burst into existence approximately 13.8 billion years ago, it ...

Amid the chaotic chains of events that ensue when protons smash together at the Large Hadron Collider in Europe, one particle has popped up that appears to go to pieces in a peculiar way. All eyes are ...

The LHCb experiment at CERN's Large Hadron Collider has reported the observation of Xicc++ -- a new particle containing two charm quarks and one up quark. The existence of this particle from the ...
