CERN is the only place on Earth that manufactures antimatter particles via high-energy collisions. Just a tiny amount of antimatter is capable of generating an explosion equivalent to a nuclear bomb.

A new optical fiber connection linking CERN and the French National Metrological Institute in Paris is now operational to provide a stable frequency reference for antimatter experiments. This ...

In collisions at CERN’s Large Hadron Collider, hotter than the Sun’s core by a staggering margin, scientists have finally ...

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 ...

In context: Antimatter is a substance composed of antiparticles with an opposite electric charge compared to the corresponding particles in "ordinary" matter. Despite its opposite nature, antimatter ...

Physicists at CERN — home of the Large Hadron Collider — have for the first time made a qubit from antimatter, holding an antiproton in a state of quantum superposition for almost a minute. This ...

CERN physicists have shown that antimatter falls downward due to gravity, just like regular matter, according to a new paper published in the journal Nature. It’s not a particularly surprising ...

Writer Chetna Krishna follows CERN’s “coolest” transport, a test of a system to ship stored antimatter across the continent. I reach CERN’s Antimatter Factory at 8 a.m. sharp. I’m here at the ...

Strange matter Illustration of how antihyperhelium-4 – a bound state of two antiprotons, an antineutron and an antilambda – is created in lead–lead collisions at CERN. (Courtesy: CERN/ J Ditzel with ...

Researchers at CERN have gotten comfortable with antimatter -- so comfortable, in fact, they're planning to load a billion antimatter particles into a van for a quick field trip. Share on Facebook ...

One pound of antimatter contains 40,766 terajoules of energy. A pound of antimatter, when containment fails, would interact with a pound of matter (which, of course, also contains 40.766 Tj of energy) ...

Supermassive black holes have been known to belch gigantic beams of plasma into space – and now scientists have managed to recreate these fireballs in a lab at CERN. Although black holes are famous ...
