CERN scientists have analyzed a particle of antimatter isolated in an undecided quantum state known as a superposition for the first time. While the quantum behavior of ordinary matter has been ...

When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. It may look like a tangle of pipes, wires and vats, but the BASE experiment is able to hold ...

The LHCb experiment at CERN has revealed a fundamental asymmetry in the behavior of particles called baryons. “The reason why it took longer to observe CP violation in baryons than in mesons is down ...

Physicists working at the CERN particle physics lab said they detected a slight but significant difference in how particles of matter and antimatter decay. By Kenneth Chang Understanding why matter ...

Eight years ago, the International Space Station detected weird antimatter particles that challenge our entire understanding of physics. Now, researchers have proposed that mysterious cosmic ...

In the 95 years we’ve known about antimatter, physicists have not tested how the elusive inverse of ordinary matter is affected by gravity, the force that pulls masses to Earth and seems to affect all ...

Matter and antimatter are like mirror opposites: except for their electric charge, they are the same in every respect. Well, almost the same—very occasionally matter and antimatter behave differently ...

New techniques developed at CERN could make it possible to stud whole atoms of antimatter and learn why there is something in the universe instead of nothing. Share on Facebook (opens in a new window) ...

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 ...

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 ...

Although the antimatter qubit won't find use in quantum computing, it will be used to test the differences between matter and antimatter. Physicists at CERN — home of the Large Hadron Collider — have ...
