Exotic pentaquark particle found at CERN’s Large Hadron Collider

Researchers on the CERN particle physics laboratory’s Massive Hadron Collider (LHC) in Switzerland have found a brand new kind of particle known as a wierd pentaquark. Discovering unique particles like this might assist us work out how hadrons – subatomic particles comparable to protons and neutrons which might be made up of quarks – are held collectively.

Pentaquarks, true to their title, are made up of 4 quarks and one antiquark, and they don’t seem to be anticipated to kind anyplace in nature, making them terribly uncommon. “Normally standard hadrons are made up …
