Consider it good news, physicists say: “The opposite result would have had big implications.” By Dennis Overbye Antimatter just lost a little more pizazz. Physicists know that for every fundamental ...

When we look around at the Universe: at the planets and stars, at the galaxies and clusters of galaxies, and at the gas, dust and plasma populating the space between these dense structures, we find ...

So far, the LHC has been spending its time ramming protons together, leaving Brookhaven’s Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) the king of the hill when it comes to smashing larger atomic nuclei.

Every fundamental particle in the universe has an antiparticle, which has the same mass but the opposite charge. If a particle should ever meet its antiparticle, the two would annihilate each other in ...

Inside materials, the interactions between groups of electrons and atoms in the crystal lattice can give rise to a variety of interesting phenomena. Their collective behavior, especially at low ...

Scientists have been trying already for years to resolve the issue whether dark matter really exists, and if so what are properties of its constituent particles. Physicists expected that results of ...

Antimatter is the same as ordinary matter except that it has the opposite electric charge. For instance, an electron, which has a negative charge, has an antimatter partner known as a positron. A ...
