A never-before seen particle, called an anti-hypertriton, has been created for the first time during experiments at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) on Long Island, New York. Particles of gold were collided just short of the speed of light (186,000 miles per second) and more than 100 million collisions were made to collect the data. The matter created during the experiments is believed to have been in existence immediately after the creation of the universe – the so-called “Big Bang”.

Unfortunately, we’re a bit short of particles physicists here at the WGC, so if you’d like to read more the work is available here as a science advanced online publication.
