Scientists at CERN, home of the Large Hadron Collider, have just made an exciting discovery that could change how we understand the tiniest building blocks of our universe. They observed a super-rare event at the subatomic level, involving a particle called a kaon, which might help us learn more about the standard model of particle physics.

What’s Happening at CERN?

As part of an experiment known as NA62, researchers looked closely at how kaons decay, or break down, into other particl...
