Physicists 'knock on the door' of the zeptouniverse: record-breaking small scale and threat of cuts to British science
A team led by Cambridge scientists at the Large Hadron Collider has registered interactions at a scale 100 billion times smaller than an atom — the 'zeptouniverse'. The result could help in the search for dark matter, but plans to upgrade the LHCb detector are under threat: UKRI has withdrawn the British share of funding.
