The first-known observations of matter–antimatter asymmetry in a decaying composite subatomic particle that belongs to the baryon class are reported from the LHCb experiment located at the Large ...

Scientists working in the realm of subatomic physics study particles - specifically, subatomic particles such as electrons, protons, and neutrons - and how they exist and interact. By doing so, they ...

The behaviour of so-called “strange metals” have long puzzled scientists – but a group of researchers at the University of Toronto may be one step closer to understanding these materials. Electrons ...

Data from the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) outside Geneva appears to have proved the existence of particles made of five quarks, solving a 50-year-old puzzle about the building blocks of matter, ...

A new study suggests that many theorized heavy particles, if they exist at all, do not have the properties needed to explain the predominance of matter over antimatter in the universe. If confirmed, ...
