The new meson was observed in electron-positron collisions by the international Belle collaboration at KEK and quickly decays into two well-known particles called the Omega and J/psi. The properties ...

Researchers over at the Vienna University of Technology (TU Wien) say that they may have found the elusive glueball in meson f0(1710) through a new theoretical approach to calculate glueball decay ...

Scientists working at the world’s largest atom smasher have caught a bizarre subatomic particle in the act of changing from matter to antimatter. The discovery could help us understand how the ...

The discovery of what appears to be a new subatomic particle with bizarre properties is challenging theorists’ understanding of how matter behaves on the scale of protons and neutrons. What seems ...

Subatomic particles can rapidly change between matter and antimatter, scientists have now found. This groundbreaking discovery was made by monitoring charm mesons, which are subatomic particles that ...

The discovery of a new particle will "transform our understanding" of the fundamental force of nature that binds the nuclei of atoms, researchers argue. The discovery of the new particle will help ...

University of Melbourne physicists have helped discover a new state of matter that may shed light on the fabric of the universe. University of Melbourne physicists have helped discover a new state of ...

Terms to describe the strange world of quantum physics have come to be quite common in our lexicon. Who, for instance, hasn't at least heard of a quark, or a gluon or even Schrodinger's cat? Now there ...

A particle with an identity crisis could provide the next big discovery at the world’s largest particle accelerator. The D meson has been caught in the act of flipping between matter and antimatter, ...
