The European Organization for Nuclear Research, better known as CERN, is one of the few places on Earth capable of routinely ...

All of these particles have partners known as antiparticles. Antimatter is like a mirror image of ordinary matter, the most notable difference being that the electric charges of antiparticles are ...

In science fiction, antiparticles provide the power for warp drives. Some physicists have speculated that antiparticles are being repelled by gravity or even traveling backward in time.

All elementary particles have corresponding antiparticles with opposite electric charges, which annihilate each other on contact. Theory suggests half the matter in the universe should have been ...

As the name implies, antimatter is the exact opposite of ordinary matter, as it is made of antiparticles instead of ordinary particles. These antiparticles are identical in mass to their regular ...

Understanding why we live in a matter-dominated universe demands that scientists recreate the quark-gluon plasma that existed one millionth of a second after the Big Bang. A Large Ion Collider ...

One of the most astonishing facts about the natural world is the existence of antiparticles. Theorised by the English physicist Paul A.M. Dirac in 1928 and observed in cosmic rays by American ...

We may earn commission if you buy from a link. Why Trust Us? The heaviest antinucleus ever has just four antiparticles, but that’s a lot. Antimatter is made by smashing like particles together ...

In a delicate, groundbreaking experiment conducted at the European Center for Nuclear Research (CERN), the scientists pretty conclusively proved that antiparticles are not governed by antigravity.
