Some of the greatest mysteries in cosmology revolve around antimatter, and it’s hard to study because it’s rare and hard to produce in the lab. Now a team of physicists has outlined a relatively ...

Physicists have, for the first time, seen a matter particle from the proton family behave in a fundamentally different way from its antimatter twin. The finding — which fits with behaviours predicted ...

Protons and neutrons, which are collectively known as nucleons, are the building blocks of atomic nuclei and account for more than 99% of the visible matter in the Universe. They are not themselves ...

There’s a newfound mismatch between matter and antimatter. And that could bring physicists one step closer to understanding how everything in the universe came to be. For the most part, particles and ...

One of the great challenges of modern cosmology is to reveal the nature of dark matter. We know it exists (it constitutes more than 85% of the matter in the universe), but we have never seen it ...

Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent every weekday. Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. Albert Einstein didn’t know about the existence of antimatter when ...

A truck full of antimatter would make for a seriously epic road trip. And scientists are now one step closer to hauling the substance by motor vehicle. Scientists at the European laboratory CERN have ...

Antimatter isn't just made of antiparticles, it's also made of waves. Now we know that this holds true even at the level of a single antimatter particle. Physicists have known for a long time that ...

The first particles in the universe formed when a hot, dense blob exploded. Physicists think that under the extreme conditions of the Big Bang, light transformed into matter: the electrons, protons, ...
