Harvard University physicist Howard Georgi supposedly discovered the unparticle. This interesting new type of matter is different from normal particles because its mass does not increase with an increase in energy. Unparticles are unconstrained packets of energy. They are similar to photons, particles which will stay massless no matter how much energy is put into them as they had no mass to begin with. Unparticles, on the other hand, do in fact have mass. They interact with normal matter so weakly, that it cannot be detected by normal human senses. Scientists plan to use the Large Hadron Particle Collider to study unparticles. The particle accelerator is to be built beneath France and Switzerland in the near future and will be the biggest in existence.

Actually neat development.
