Antimatter, the elusive counterpart to the matter that makes up everything around us, has intrigued scientists for decades. Recent breakthroughs have begun to unravel the mysteries surrounding ...

The hero is regular matter, which is everything we can see around us. Antimatter is the mirror-image explosive twin that scientists understand well but can barely find. And dark matter is the ...

The universe shouldn’t be here. Everything scientists know about particle physics, summed up in a theory called the Standard Model, suggests that the big bang should have created equal quantities of ...

Physicists from the STAR Collaboration have observed a new antimatter hypernucleus, antihyperhydrogen-4, for the first time. This is the heaviest antimatter hypernucleus discovered in experiments to ...

For many years, physicists have wondered whether a certain well-known exotic material may experience gravitational repulsion from the Earth. That material is antimatter, and physicists at CERN have ...

The universe's matter-antimatter asymmetry, where matter significantly outweighs antimatter despite their theoretically equal creation at the Big Bang, remains a major unsolved problem in physics.

Physicists working at the CERN particle physics lab said they detected a slight but significant difference in how particles of matter and antimatter decay. By Kenneth Chang Understanding why matter ...

In experiments at the Brookhaven National Lab in the U.S., an international team of physicists has detected the heaviest “anti-nuclei” ever seen. The tiny, short-lived objects are composed of exotic ...

Antimatter's foundational particles can now reportedly be better-understood thanks to a new study that cools down such particles faster for easier control and better property observance. Researchers ...

Scientists are exploring the possibilities of antimatter propulsion as they try to achieve interstellar travel. While conventional rockets provide high thrust, they struggle with low efficiency.
