CERN's Groundbreaking Discovery
A team at CERN has reported the observation of a new type of particle made up of four quarks.
This discovery could enhance our understanding of how quarks, under the influence of the strong force, bind together to form protons and neutrons found in atomic nuclei.
Quarks are elementary particles that form the foundation of all observable matter, grouping together to create hadrons, including protons and neutrons.
Typically, quarks combine in groups of two or three to form hadrons, but this new discovery reveals a particle made up of four quarks.
CERN's discovery sheds new light on the strong force and how quarks bind together.
