  • Physics maybe shifting to the right. Tantalizing signals at CERN's Large Hadron Collider near Geneva Switzerland, hint at a new particle that could end 50 years of thinking that nature discriminates between left and right-handed particles. Like people's hands, some fundamental particles are different from their mirror images, and so have an intrinsic handedness or "chirality." But some particles only seem to come in one of the two handedness options, leading to what's called "left-right symmetry breaking"
