• Scientists at CERN observe ultra-rare particle decay process, hinting to physics beyond the standard model

    ByRishav Kothari

    The NA62 experiment at CERN, backed by researchers from Lancaster University, has observed a rare decay process, happening in less than one in ten billion charged kaons. This discovery, presented at a CERN EP seminar on September 24, 2024, may shed light on new physics, taking us closer to breakthroughs in particle interactions beyond the Standard Model.

  • CERN’s LHCb experiment announces observation of a new particle

    ByTW

    At the EPS Conference on High Energy Physics held this week in Venice, the LHCb experiment at CERN’s Large Hadron Collider has reported the observation of Ξcc++ (Xicc++) a new particle containing two charm quarks and one up quark. The existence of this…

  • Sound waves direct particles to self-assemble, self-heal

    ByTW

    An elegantly simple experiment with floating particles self-assembling in response to sound waves has provided a new framework for studying how seemingly lifelike behaviors emerge in response to external forces. Scientists at the Department of Energy’s…
