Science Concepts and Particle Physics

This SciShow episode discusses the discovery of a new particle, Xicc++, by CERN scientists, which is made of two charm quarks and one up quark. This discovery provides a new tool to study the strong force, a fundamental force in physics. The episode also explores the growth of rangeomorphs, ancient multicellular organisms, and how changes in ocean chemistry may have influenced their size and shape. The episode is sponsored by Anker, promoting their SoundCore Boost speaker.
