LHCb just discovered three new particles ⚛️

Plus: A huge ozone hole has been discovered in the tropics Jul 07, 2022 [Blueprint]( What you are about to read isn't something you see every day: Scientists using the Large Hadron Collider have discovered three subatomic particles never seen before, adding to an ever-growing number of such particles that are known to make up the universe. These particles only existed for a fleeting moment, yet they may hold clues to why the cosmos evolved the way it did. And, with the high-luminosity Large Hadron Collider upgrade on the horizon, particle physics' future seems as bright as ever. Before we learn more about this marvelous discovery, watch today’s video to see why adding more roads does not solve traffic congestion. Good morning. I’m Derya, an editor at IE. This is The Blueprint. Let’s dive in. Be the first to know when IE+ launches IE+ will feature exclusive interviews, deep dives that go beyond the headlines, premium features, and more.

[Must Read]MUST READ [Large Hadron Collider scientists discover three new ‘exotic’ particles]( [A section of the Large Hadron Collider.]( Scientists at European nuclear research center CERN [discovered three never-before-seen subatomic particles]( while working with the Large Hadron Collider, which was only recently turned back on following maintenance. Meet them. The CERN scientists made the discovery of a new type of “pentaquark” and the first-ever pair of “tetraquarks”, adding to the illustrious list of new hadrons first observed at the 27-km-long (16.8-mile) LHC. → Now, the new subatomic particle discoveries will help physicists better understand the way in which quarks bind to form composite particles. The LHC is expected to operate until another scheduled shutdown between 2025 and 2027.
