ScienceNow : Getting at the root of all existence isn’t easy. For 75 years, physicists have been smashing atoms together in increasingly powerful particle accelerators, while theorists have been calculating what those collisions should be producing. The work has allowed scientists to unearth matter’s most basic components. Now, physicists have added two more particles to the list and, with that, have taken science a step closer to unraveling the mystery of just what the universe is made of.
