The Large Hadron Collider (LHC), the world's largest atom smasher, just discovered at least two previously unknown particles. Each type of baryon has a different mix of quarks. Protons, for example, ...

Since its inception in 2008, the LHC (large hadron collider) at CERN has been a key player in pushing the boundaries of particle physics research. Consisting of four main experiments, the circular ...

I keep coming back to a strange idea: what if everything we know about quantum physics is already encoded inside a single atom? Not in a mystical sense, but in the very real way that one tiny system ...

The same phenomenon was later confirmed for neutrons, helium atoms, and even large molecules, making matter-wave diffraction ...

GRENOBLE, France (AP) — Physicists expect the world's largest atom smasher to find a long-sought theoretical new particle — or rule out that it exists — by the end of 2012. Rolf Heuer, director of the ...
