Scientists at Europe's CERN research center announced the Large Hadron Collider's LHCb experiment has discovered a new subatomic particle described as 'doubly charmed.' The particle resembles a proton but carries four times the mass, according to the research team.
The discovery adds another entry to the growing catalog of particles identified by the world's most powerful particle accelerator. The LHCb experiment, one of several major detectors at the Large Hadron Collider, specializes in studying the fundamental building blocks of matter and their interactions.
