Discovery of a new class of particles at the LHC
The LHC Has Discovered a Brand New Class of Particles
Just months after switching the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) back on at record-breaking energy levels, researchers at CERN in Switzerland have reported the discovery of a whole new class of subatomic particles, called pentaquarks. Not only has it solved a 50-year mystery surrounding the elusive particle, but it’s providing new insight into the ways in which matter can be formed.
