A tabletop-sized ion trap in Mainz, Germany, has confined both electrons and calcium ions using two overlapping ...

Scientists successfully transported a minute quantity of antimatter for the first time, opening up new possibilities for the ...

Scientists at CERN have pushed antimatter production into a new era, creating tens of thousands of antihydrogen atoms is no longer a decade-long dream but a routine overnight feat. In a paper ...

Scientists from United Arab Emirates University (UAEU) have laid out a suggested roadmap for developing an antimatter engine. While antimatter research is very hypothetical and not yet in the ...

Collisions between heavy ions at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) create quark–gluon plasma, a hot and dense state of matter that is thought to have filled the universe around one millionth of a second ...

Getting places in space quickly has been the goal of propulsion research for a long time. Rockets, our most common means of doing so, are great for providing lots of force but are extraordinarily ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. Everything we see around us, from the ground beneath our feet to the most remote galaxies, is made of matter. For scientists, that ...

In a paper published today in Nature Communications, researchers at the ALPHA experiment at CERN’s Antimatter Factory report a new technique that allows them to produce over 15 000 antihydrogen atoms ...

Everything we see around us, from the ground beneath our feet to the most remote galaxies, is made of matter. For scientists, that has long posed a problem: According to physicists’ best current ...

Physicists’ best guess is that some process in the early universe favored the production of matter compared to the production of antimatter — but exactly what that process was is a mystery, and the ...
