Scientists at CERN have found evidence of an extraordinarily rare particle decay, offering a glimpse into a largely unexplored world known as the ‘zeptoverse’

The discovery was made using the Large Hadron Collider, which smashes protons together to produce particles that scientists can study.

Researchers focused on beauty particles, short-lived particles created in these collisions. They found evidence of an extremely rare process in which one of these particles transforms into other particles, something predicted to happen just once in every 10 billion cases.
