A mysterious “X” particle comprising four quarks and first seen in 2003, has been found in the quark–gluon plasma produced in heavy ion collisions at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). The observation was made by physicists working on CERN’s Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) experiment and if confirmed, it could help researchers understand the structure of the exotic particle.

Life has a way of adapting to challenging environments. While humans – as well as animals and plants in general – rely on oxygen to burn their nutrients, some microbes in low-oxygen habitats have learnt to rely on iron-containing minerals as a substitute. Scientists at ETH Zurich and the Swiss Federal Institute of Aquatic Science and Technology have now reported that the speed of two-electron transport from microbes to extracellular minerals may be best described by just considering the ease wit
