Although long believed to be theoretically possible, new data from Cern has provided conclusive evidence for a new state of matter
Scientists at the Large Hadron Collider near Geneva have discovered a previously unseen class of particles that demonstrate there is a new state of matter.
Researchers working on the collider's LHCb detector spotted signals that are produced when five subatomic particles called quarks combine together to form pentaquarks.
