Physicists working on the LHCb experiment at CERN’s Large Hadron Collider have discovered a new subatomic particle called the Ξcc⁺, a heavy cousin of the proton built from two charm quarks and one ...

In the first joint result from the world's two leading particle colliders, scientists have determined the mass of the heaviest elementary particle, the top quark. The measurement was made using the ...

Physicists at Goethe University in Frankfurt, Germany, have used supercomputer simulations to predict a specific gravitational-wave fingerprint that would confirm quark-gluon plasma forms inside the ...

Astronomers recently announced that they have found a novel explanation for a rare type of super-luminous stellar explosion that may have produced a new type of object known as a quark star.
