Description
Researchers led by scientists in Cambridge made the discovery using the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN, exploring an incredibly tiny realm some physicists call the “zeptoverse.”
The experiment detected interactions involving beauty quarks, unstable subatomic particles that exist for just 1.5 trillionths of a second before decaying.
Scientists believe studying interactions at such tiny scales could offer new clues about dark matter, the invisible substance whose gravitational effects influence the universe.
While the discovery does not confirm the existence of dark matter particles, it could help researchers develop a more complete theory of how the universe works.
