CERN researchers discover three "exotic subatomic particles

Scientists working on the Large Hadron Collider have discovered three subatomic particles

they have never previously seen as they attempt to unravel the basic elements

of the universe CERN, the European research centre for nuclear science CERN reported on Tuesday.
