Scientists detect ultra-rare particle decay, nearing 'Zeptoverse'

  • Physicists detected evidence of a rare particle decay, expected to occur once in every 10 billion 'beauty' particles.
  • The discovery was made using the upgraded LHCb experiment at CERN's Large Hadron Collider.
  • This finding brings researchers closer to exploring the 'zeptoverse', a scale of interactions a billionth of a metre.
  • Understanding these interactions could provide insights into dark matter and other mysteries of the universe.
  • The search for this particle decay has spanned more than 40 years.
