NASA’s Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope has discovered a faint but sprawling glow of high-energy light around a nearby pulsar. If visible to the human eye,…
Researchers now harnessing antimatter in their search for dark matter. A study that takes a novel approach to the search for dark matter has been…
Could the profound mysteries of antimatter and dark matter be linked? Thinking that they might be, scientists from the international BASE collaboration, led by Stefan…
The universe consists of matter. Matter is everything we see around us. That’s strange – but why? In theory, there should also be large amounts…
The Precision Reactor Oscillation and Spectrum Experiment (PROSPECT) has completed the installation of a novel antineutrino detector that will probe the possible existence of a…
New data could shed light on why the universe has more matter than antimatter. This week, an international team of physicists, including researchers at MIT,…
If equal amounts of matter and antimatter had formed in the Big Bang more than 13 billion years ago, one would have annihilated the other…
A storm system approaches: the sky darkens, and the low rumble of thunder echoes from the horizon. Then without warning… Flash! Crash! — lightning has…
A mountaintop observatory about four hours east of Mexico City, built and operated by an international team of scientists, has captured the first wide-angle view…
In a newly published study led by Australian National University, astrophysicists reveal how most of the antimatter in the Milky Way forms. Antimatter is material…
In a new study, researchers detail how a technique called plasma wakefield acceleration could enable them to build more economical particle colliders. A study led…
Physicists have announced the first scientific results from the Cryogenic Underground Observatory for Rare Events experiment, which is designed to confirm the existence of the…
A newly published study describes the how the ASACUSA experiment at CERN produced a beam of antihydrogen atoms for the first time. The ASACUSA experiment…
A newly published study details the how physicists discovered the first direct evidence of pear shaped nuclei in exotic atoms, a finding that could help…
In a new study, physicists from the Berkeley Lab and UC Berkeley used data from the ALPHA Experiment at CERN to measure antimatter gravity directly,…
A new study from the LHCb collaboration at CERN details the first observation of matter-antimatter asymmetry in the decays of the particle known as the…
AMS announced the first results in its search for dark matter, reporting the observation of an excess of positrons in the cosmic ray flux. Geneva…
A research team led by Harvard University physicists has measured the magnetic moment of single particles of matter and antimatter with unprecedented precision. As described…
