The team of physicists working on the LHCb Collaboration at CERN has found that bottom quarks are more likely to exist in baryons than mesons as the density of the environment in which they exist increases. In their paper ...
Just over a week ago, European physicists announced they had measured the strength of gravity on the smallest scale ever.
