The joint NOvA-T2K analysis achieved unprecedented precision in measuring neutrino mass, a key step toward understanding ...

We're now a step closer to understanding how the Universe avoided an antimatter apocalypse. CERN scientists have discovered tantalizing clues of a fundamental difference in the way physics handles ...

For the first time, physicists at CERN have coaxed an antiproton — a mirror twin of the matter that makes up our world — into behaving like a quantum bit, or qubit. The antiproton held its quantum ...

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 ...

Small amounts of antimatter have also been created by scientists in particle accelerators and other experiments, at great effort and expense — putting a damper on science fiction dreams of rockets ...

The universe's matter-antimatter asymmetry, where matter significantly outweighs antimatter despite their theoretically equal creation at the Big Bang, remains a major unsolved problem in physics.

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 ...
