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 ...
A mysterious excess of far-ultraviolet light seen across the Milky Way could come from the annihilation of clumpy dark matter ...
Understanding why matter and antimatter behave differently is key to understanding why there is a universe at all. Now physicists have discovered the latest example of a subtle difference between the ...
Matter and antimatter should have completely wiped each other out eons ago, leaving the Universe a very empty place. Obviously that didn't happen. Experiments at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) may ...
An overabundance of antimatter in showers of charged particles that bombard Earth called cosmic rays could reveal the secrets of dark matter, the universe's most mysterious "stuff," a new study ...
Knotted structures once imagined by Lord Kelvin may actually have shaped the universe’s earliest moments, according to new ...
Antimatter, particles with opposite charge to their matter counterparts, was theoretically predicted and later experimentally confirmed, existing naturally due to charge conservation in particle ...
Trapping antimatter is kind of like trying to catch snowflakes with a frying pan — if the snowflakes wanted to blow up the pan every time they touched it. That’s basically the daily grind for CERN ...
Physicists at CERN — home of the Large Hadron Collider — have for the first time made a qubit from antimatter, holding an antiproton in a state of quantum superposition for almost a minute. This ...
LIVERMORE, Calif. – Take a gold sample the size of the head of a push pin, shoot a laser through it, and suddenly more than 100 billion particles of anti-matter appear. The anti-matter, also known as ...
An artistic representation of antihyperhydrogen-4 — an antimatter hypernucleus made of an antiproton, two antineutrons, and an antilambda particle — created in a collision of two gold nuclei (left).
