Imagine something so powerful that one gram of it can buy every private island, yacht, and palace in the world—and still ...

Our universe is filled with particles, such as electrons and protons, which make up all the stuff on our planet and beyond: ...

Antimatter might have practical uses, too, visionaries claim. Possibilities include antimatter-powered robotic aircraft that could remain aloft for months to provide military and weather surveillance.

Antimatter remains a matter of confusion (sorry, awful pun) for a few reasons. As explained by Gizmodo in 2022: The universe rocked into being 14 billion years ago, with a Big Bang that in theory ...

The Universe is made of matter, not antimatter, and 'CP violation' in particle decays could be the reason. Results from experiments measuring this effect at last confirm the predictions of a 30 ...

Antimatter has been called the "evil twin" of ordinary matter. In ordinary atoms, negatively charged electrons swirl around positively charged protons.

In a technological tour de force, scientists have developed a new way to probe antimatter. For the first time, researchers were able to zap antimatter atoms with a laser, then precisely measure ...

Antimatter does not “fall up”, but rather responds to the gravitational pull of the Earth in much the same way as normal matter. That is the conclusion of physicists working on the ALPHA-g experiment ...

An experiment conducted on hybrid matter-antimatter atoms has defied researchers’ expectations. Skip to main content. Open Navigation Menu.

Antimatter particles are identical to their matter twins except for their mirrored physical properties — where an electron has a negative charge, its antimatter counterpart, ...
