Scientists discovered a never-before-seen particle and it could be dark matter
Scientists discovered a never-before-seen particle and it could be dark matter A new, mysterious particle has been found by scientists. Making new discoveries is, of course, exhilarating. The fact that this particle could be a candidate for dark matter is perhaps the most interesting aspect of it. Surprisingly, the never-before-seen particle was identified with an experiment that fits on a kitchen counter. This enigmatic particle could be a dark matter contender. Kenneth Burch, a Boston College professor, and lead researcher, told Live Science, "When my student presented me the statistics, I felt she must be incorrect." "It's not every day that you come across a new article on your tabletop." The enigmatic particle is a cousin of the Higgs boson, which is responsible for the mass of other particles. The new particle was given the moniker axial Higgs boson by scientists. Using the Large Hadron Collider, we first discovered the Higgs boson particle in 2012. (LHC).
