The Universe just after the Big Bang was similar to... a liquid. Physicists today are managing to recreate this state in the ...

A new independent measurement by the CMS experiment at the LHC is consistent with the existence of the most massive composite ...

As they probe deeper into the heart of the atom, discovering ever smaller and more mysterious particles and particles within particles, scientists have succeeded in bringing the once stable world of ...

Smaller than an atom, but majorly important: introducing the quark! Quarks helped make sense of particle physics, and we'll ...

The CMS collaboration at CERN has observed an unexpected feature in data produced by the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), which could point to the existence of the smallest composite particle yet observed ...

Scientists have for the first time observed quantum entanglement — a state in which particles intermingle, losing their individuality so they can no longer be described separately — between quarks.

Probing ever deeper into the inner world of the atom, nuclear physicists have uncovered an increasingly baffling collection of tiny particles. Besides the familiar neutrons, electrons and protons, ...

Observational first: physicists have used the ATLAS experiment at CERN to observe the production of top-quark and photon pairs. (Courtesy: CERN) For the first time, particle physicists have observed ...

The CMS Collaboration investigated in detail events in which a top quark and an anti‑top quark are produced together in high‑energy proton–proton collisions at √s = 13 TeV, using the full 138 fb⁻¹ ...

Scientists have observed the Higgs boson interacting with the top quark, the heaviest known elementary particle, in an exciting discovery that deepens our understanding of why objects in the universe ...

Heavy-ion physics is a dynamic field that investigates the behaviour of matter under extreme conditions by colliding nuclei at relativistic speeds. Such collisions create a short-lived, ...
