This week researchers at CERN’s Large Hadron Collider (LHC) in Switzerland announced evidence of a new type of particle called a pentaquark, Ian Sample reports for The Guardian. Quarks are tiny ...

For decades, physicists have looked for the pentaquark -- a type of subatomic particle long theorized to exist but never seen, despite numerous false alarms. This week, scientists at the European ...

Carefully eluding the attention of scientists for several decades, the pentaquark – a subatomic particle made of four quarks and an antiquark – has finally been discovered. This new state of matter ...

After restarting to run at higher power than ever, the Large Hadron Collider has made its first proper discovery. Today, a team of scientists announced that they’ve found a new class of sub-atomic ...

New results from the world’s largest particle accelerator illuminate the structure of the pentaquark, an exotic particle consisting of five quarks bound together. Quarks, the subatomic particles that ...

New data from the Department of Energy's Jefferson Lab shows the pentaquark doesn't appear in one place it was expected. The result contradicts earlier findings in this same region and adds to the ...

Although initial results were encouraging, physicists searching for an exotic five-quark particle now think it probably doesn't exist. The debate over the pentaquark search shows how science moves ...

Scientists at the Large Hadron Collider have announced the discovery of a new particle called the pentaquark. It was first predicted to exist in the 1960s but, much like the Higgs boson particle ...

An international team of physicists has provided the best evidence to date of the existence of a new form of atomic matter, dubbed the "pentaquark." The research team confirmed the existence ...

Some things are exciting which makes them easy to sell. What about boring or complicated businesses? Maybe your product or service is about as exciting as reading a dictionary. Your product might be a ...
