In the world of high-energy physics, experimental teams publishing the results of a search for some new phenomenon — let’s call it a snark — usually telegraph the results via a code word in the title ...

In a post-Big Bang world, nature's top quark -- a key component of matter -- is a highly sensitive probe that physicists use to evaluate competing theories about quantum interactions. Now a new ...

The proton, a particle found at the heart of every atom, appears to have a more complicated structure than is traditionally given in textbooks. The find could have ramifications for sensitive particle ...

Measurements of the properties of exotic particles called all-charm tetraquarks, reported by the CMS Collaboration at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), are published in Nature this week. The results ...
