One of the big questions in science is not just "why are we here?' It's, "why is anything here?" Scientists at CERN have been looking into this one over the last ...

Forward-looking: Antimatter consists of particles with properties opposite to those of regular particles. It plays a central role in modern physics research and forms naturally through cosmic ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. A new optical fiber connection linking CERN and the French National Metrological Institute in Paris is now operational to provide ...

Strange matter Illustration of how antihyperhelium-4 – a bound state of two antiprotons, an antineutron and an antilambda – is created in lead–lead collisions at CERN. (Courtesy: CERN/ J Ditzel with ...

Why didn’t the universe annihilate itself moments after the big bang? A new finding at Cern on the French-Swiss border brings us closer to answering this fundamental question about why matter ...

In context: Antimatter is a substance composed of antiparticles with an opposite electric charge compared to the corresponding particles in "ordinary" matter. Despite its opposite nature, antimatter ...

One pound of antimatter contains 40,766 terajoules of energy. A pound of antimatter, when containment fails, would interact with a pound of matter (which, of course, also contains 40.766 Tj of energy) ...

Writer Chetna Krishna follows CERN’s “coolest” transport, a test of a system to ship stored antimatter across the continent. I reach CERN’s Antimatter Factory at 8 a.m. sharp. I’m here at the ...

CERN physicists have shown that antimatter falls downward due to gravity, just like regular matter, according to a new paper published in the journal Nature. It’s not a particularly surprising ...
