The new particle, named Xi-cc-plus, carries two heavy charm quarks and is about four times heavier than an ordinary proton.

In this video, we explore the Standard Model of particle physics, detailing the quantum field theories that describe fundamental particles and forces in the universe. Topics covered include: - ...

A new three-volume study explores how quantum physics, gravitation and cosmology may be understood within a unified ...

The magnum opus of particle physics is far from complete, requiring physicists to devise many alternatives—some weirder than ...

Physicists may have yet another fundamental particle left to discover. When physicists at the Large Hardon Collider discovered the Higgs boson back in 2012, they’d found the last missing piece of the ...

It’s a fundamental principle of physics that particles with opposite charges attract each other, while those with the same charge repel. But now, scientists at the University of Oxford have found that ...
