Physicists have uncovered what looks like a quantum conspiracy in one of the first results from the Large Hadron Collider, the world’s most powerful atom smasher.
This image shows more than 100 charged particles generated by a collision at the Large Hadron Collider’s CMS experiment. The data indicate that a larger than expected number of charged particles created in such collisions are somehow paired, even though they end up at opposite ends of a large detector.
