The discovery alone will not be sufficient to fill this gap, but it is an essential puzzle piece in the understanding of the interactions of fundamental particles.
If this particle really exists, then it is not just outside the standard model but outside it in a way that nobody anticipated.
Scientists at CERN observed Higgs boson decaying into subatomic particles called bottom quarks.
Newly discovered particle was predicted to exist by the Standard Model of particle physics.
Physicists say proton collisions can result in a large number of particles containing strange quarks—findings that challenge current theoretical models.
In a collaboration with Ars Electronica, the space agency will host an arts and science residency.
The discovery solves a 50-year-old puzzle about the building blocks of matter.
Scientist working on CERN's groundbreaking experiment says the particle accelerator will chart new territory.
