Physicists at MIT have developed a new way to probe inside an atom's nucleus, using the atom's own electrons as "messengers" ...

The research team at ALICE, A Large Ion Collider Experiment at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), confirmed the first-ever observation of antihyperhelium-4, the antimatter partner of hyperhelium. The ...

"They are the parents of all matter in the universe today, including our own bodies, while the knots can be thought of as our grandparents," physicist Yu Hamada explained.

It seems like the stuff of science fiction, but NSF-sponsored researchers working at CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research, have probed the properties of whole atoms of antimatter, the ...

Everything we see around us, from the ground beneath our feet to the most remote galaxies, is made of matter. For scientists, that has long posed a problem: According to physicists’ best current ...

It’s around you, it’s a part of you, and scientists are still trying to figure it out. Antimatter: It’s the opposite of the matter we’re used to; it’s mysteriously elusive; and when it gets too close ...

A substance called antimatter is at the heart of one of the greatest mysteries of the universe. We know that every particle has an antimatter companion that is virtually identical to itself, but with ...

Antimatter has intrigued and confounded physicists for almost a century, and the effect of gravity on antimatter has been a point of disagreement. New research may have settled the debate by finding ...

Deep under a mountain in Italy, researchers continue to push the boundaries of science with an experiment that could rewrite ...
