When antimatter collides with regular matter, the two annihilate in a burst of energy. This interaction is so powerful that scientists are exploring ways to harness this energy for practical use.
Scientists from the ALICE (A Large Ion Collider Experiment) at CERN's Large Hadron Collider reported evidence of a new antimatter particle called antihyperhelium-4, essentially the "evil ...
Scientists have demonstrated the existence of gravity between antimatter and Earth, reaffirming Albert Einstein’s General Theory of Relativity. It is thought that Isaac Newton's historic work on ...
Scientists are exploring the possibilities of antimatter propulsion as they try to achieve interstellar travel. While conventional rockets provide high thrust, they struggle with low efficiency.
Two teams of CERN physicists are racing to perform an extraordinary feat: transporting antimatter for the first time. Antimatter — matter’s mirror image — is difficult to create and ...
Scientists at CERN's ALICE detector are replicating conditions found during the Big Bang, attempting to get to the bottom of how matter came to dominate over antimatter. The world's most massive ...
And that could theoretically happen using one of the rarest substances in the universe—antimatter. A new paper from Sawsan Ammar Omira and Abdel Hamid I. Mourad at the United Arab Emirates ...
There might be a way, though: a new study examines the potential of harnessing antimatter as a fuel source capable of flinging spacecraft across the cosmos faster than any existing technology.
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 ...
New research has shown that if you drop a piece of antimatter, it will fall down to the ground just like regular matter. This rules out suggestions that antimatter could fall up, along with the ...
