Scientists have picked up signals from the smallest scale of nature ever explored – 100 billion times smaller than an atom.

It’s a world so small that some physicists have nicknamed it the zeptoverse.

The research was obtained from an experiment at the Large Hadron Collider, and could help researchers develop a new, more complete theory of how the Universe works.

It was led by scientists based in Cambridge, who told the BBC funding withdrawals from the UK meant the country’s full involvement in the research could be in doubt.

Rioters looted shops in central Frankfurt late on Saturday as clashes erupted in German cities over the cost of living.

There were also incidents of violence in Berlin, Cologne and Hamburg, with police saying they used water cannon to disperse protesters targeting emergency workers with fireworks, stones and bottles.

Thousands joined largely peaceful demonstrations earlier in the day, organised by the campaign group Gen Z regelt, to protest against underfunding in schools, the high cost of living, public spending cuts and military service.

The unrest in Germany follows similar youth-led mass protests in France, where more than 320,000 people also demonstrated on Saturday.
