For a while, in the Middle Ages, there was a real craze for trying to turn unassuming lead into pure, gleaming gold. Perhaps those ancient alchemists should have been building a particle collider.

An unforeseen feature in proton-proton collisions previously observed by the CMS experiment at CERN's Large Hadron Collider (LHC) has now been confirmed by its sister experiment ATLAS. High-energy ...
