In 1932, physicists glimpsed antimatter for the first time — a strange mirror image of regular matter with mind-bending potential. Nearly a century later, this ghostly substance could someday fuel a ...

Physicists working at the CERN particle physics lab said they detected a slight but significant difference in how particles of matter and antimatter decay. By Kenneth Chang Understanding why matter ...

Matter and antimatter should have completely wiped each other out eons ago, leaving the Universe a very empty place. Obviously that didn't happen. Experiments at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) may ...

There’s a lot of matter around, which ensures that any antimatter produced experiences a very short lifespan. Studying antimatter, therefore, has been extremely difficult. But that’s changed a bit in ...

Scientists at CERN's ALICE detector are replicating conditions found during the Big Bang, attempting to get to the bottom of how matter came to dominate over antimatter. When you purchase through ...

Chemical rockets have taken us to the moon and back, but traveling to the stars demands something more powerful. Space X's Starship can lift extraordinary masses to orbit and send payloads throughout ...
