CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research, is one of the world’s largest and most respected centers for scientific research. Its Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is nothing short of a marvel of technology. It is the most powerful particle accelerator on the planet and is deemed an asset in high-energy physics experimental research. It was ...
The LHCb experiment at CERN has presented a new discovery at the European Physical Society Conference on High Energy Physics (EPS-HEP). The new particle discovered by LHCb, labeled as Tcc+, is a tetraquark — an exotic hadron containing two quarks and two antiquarks. It is the longest-lived exotic matter particle ever discovered, and the first to contain two heavy ...
For 50 years, the research world has been searching for the so-called Odderon particle — completely without results. But in a new study, a Swedish-Hungarian research group has succeeded in the feat of discovering the mythical particle with the help of extensive data analyzes. The new Odderon particle discovered In 1973, two French particle physicists sat ...
In a surprising discovery, Princeton physicists have observed an unexpected quantum behavior in insulators made from a material called tungsten ditelluride. This phenomenon, known as quantum oscillation, is typically observed in metals rather than insulators, and its discovery offers new insights into our understanding of the quantum world. The findings also hint at the existence ...
Physicists have long suspected that the fundamental reality that we observe in our daily life springs out of the properties of octonions, which are eight-dimensional numbers. A discovery by Cohl Furey from Canada strengthens the suspicion and actually lends credence to the theory. Man has always strived to define complex natural laws. Sometimes the definitions ...
To build the next generation of powerful proton accelerators, scientists need the strongest magnets possible to steer particles close to the speed of light around a ring. For a given ring size, the higher the beam’s energy, the stronger the accelerator’s magnets need to be to keep the beam on course. Scientists at the Department ...
