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 ...
In its second antimatter breakthrough this month, CERN announced it successfully created the first-ever antimatter qubit, paving the way to even weirder quantum experiments. Reading time 3 minutes ...
Our universe is filled with particles, such as electrons and protons, which make up all the stuff on our planet and beyond: animals, plants, people, planets, asteroids, stars, gas clouds, and galaxies ...
The demonstration of the first antimatter quantum bit paves the way for substantially improved tests of nature’s fundamental symmetries. Particles such as the antiproton, which has the same mass but ...
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.
Why is there any matter in the universe? A new antimatter breakthrough at LHC holds clues. At one-one-thousandth of a second after the Big Bang, the great annihilation event should have wiped out all ...
An historical introduction to space propulsion -- The rocket : how it works in space -- Rocket problems and limitations -- Non-rocket in-space propulsion -- The solar-sail option : from the oceans to ...
