Radioactive molecules are sensitive to subtle nuclear phenomena and might help physicists probe the violation of the most fundamental symmetries of nature. Imagine a dust…
A team of physicists, including the University of Warwick, have proved that a subatomic particle can switch into its antiparticle alter-ego and back again, in…
Antimatter is believed to play a huge part in the story of our universe. It’s the counterpart to matter: identical in every way – with…
The result opens the door to considerably more precise studies of the response of antimatter to light and how it behaves under the influence of…
Researchers with the CERN-based ALPHA collaboration have announced the world’s first laser-based manipulation of antimatter, leveraging a made-in-Canada laser system to cool a sample of…
Stars, galaxies, and everything in the universe, including our own bodies, are comprised of so-called regular matter. Regular matter includes atoms and molecules, which are…
Recently discovered ripples of spacetime called gravitational waves could contain evidence to prove the theory that life survived the Big Bang because of a phase…
Lack of symmetry in qubits can’t fix errors in quantum computing, but might explain matter/antimatter imbalance. Unexpected twist in the Kibble-Zurek theory offers a new…
Theorists publish improved prediction for the tiny difference in kaon decays observed by experiments. An international collaboration of theoretical physicists—including scientists from the U.S. Department…
Japanese team aims to detect oxygen concentration in tumors using upgraded medical imaging scan. Experts in Japan have devised a simple way to glean more…
At the European nuclear and particle physics laboratory CERN, physicists can produce extremely rare short-lived atoms and molecules. Researchers from KU Leuven have shown that…
An element that could hold the key to the long-standing mystery around why there is much more matter than antimatter in our universe has been…
An element that could hold the key to the long-standing mystery around why there is much more matter than antimatter in our Universe has been…
The ALICE collaboration has presented new results on the production rates of antideuterons based on data collected at the highest collision energy delivered so far…
Scientists one step closer to understanding the mystery of matter in the universe. Neutron’s ‘electric dipole moment’ smaller than ever predicted New international standard for…
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…
