Antimatter and Matter May Act the Same Way with Protons

Scientists have learned a little more about antimatter and, in consequence, the universe. Researchers have found that the attractive force between antiprotons is similar to that between protons.

'Massless' Particle May Create Faster and More Efficient Electronics

A "massless" particle could give rise to faster and more efficient electronics. Scientists have discovered a particle that has the unusual ability to behave as matter and antimatter inside a crystal.

Physicists Unravel the Mystery of Matter-Antimatter Asymmetry in the Universe

Stars and planets are made of particles--not antiparticles. This asymmetry, which favors matter slightly, has puzzled scientists for years. Now, though, a group of physicists may have solved this mystery

Explainer: What are Leptons?

The giant Large Hadron Collider at CERN’s lab in Europe may be closed until 2015 but experiments will still be run there in the second half of this year on much smaller synchrotrons that examined the decay of particles into electrons, muons and neutrinos, all of which belong in a family called lep...

Antimatter Experiment at CERN Calls for Crowdsourced Help

Ever wondered what happens when you drop antimatter? The antimater experiment AEGIS at CERN needs your help to analyse experimental results to figure out how antimatter is affected by gravity. Just join the dots to reconstruct particle tracks and your contribution could be included in an upcoming sc...

Construction of Antimatter Factory Extension at CERN Started

A ground-breaking ceremony today marked the start of construction of an extension to CERN's antimatter facility. Infrastructure currently housed in the Antiproton Decelerator (AD) hall will be moved into this extension to make space for a new decelerator, the Extra-Low-Energy Antiproton ring (ELENA)...

Deep Underground Germanium Detectors Deployed to Solve Antimatter Imbalance Mystery

Oak Ridge National Laboratory has begun delivery of germanium-76 detectors to an underground laboratory in South Dakota in a team research effort that might explain the puzzling imbalance between matter and antimatter generated by the Big Bang.

Antimatter and Dark Matter Hunters Publish First Results of Space Experiment AMS

The antimatter hunter AMS-2, a module on the International Space Station, is searching for the missing pieces of our Universe. The international team running the Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer (AMS) today announced the first results in its search for dark matter, hinting at a new phenomenon and reveali...

The Experiment That Uses Lasers to Play With Fat Antimatter

There is an antimatter experiment with huge and super-complex machines that is as exotic as it gets at CERN: it involves 'inflating' an atom with a laser, then slow it down, catch it or bend it around corners. This is going to happen in the AEGIS experiment at the Antiproton Decelerator, where Steph...
