Physicists at CERN have discovered that antimatter falls down. Sure, it sounds like an obvious thing, but scientists haven’t yet been able to confirm that it responds to gravity in exactly the same ...

Trapping antimatter is kind of like trying to catch snowflakes with a frying pan — if the snowflakes wanted to blow up the ...

Antimatter — the mysterious substance that's the mirror opposite of matter in most ways — falls downward in gravity like everything else in the universe, a team of physicists reported Wednesday in the ...

To create antihydrogen, the team must first trap and cool clouds of positrons and antiprotons separately before merging them.

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 ...

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 ...

The universe's matter-antimatter asymmetry, where matter significantly outweighs antimatter despite their theoretically equal creation at the Big Bang, remains a major unsolved problem in physics.

The LHCb collaboration at CERN* today submitted a paper [http://arxiv.org/abs/1304.6173] to Physical Review Letters on the first observation of matter-antimatter ...

For decades, researchers have toyed with antimatter while searching for new laws of physics. These laws would come in the form of forces or other phenomena that would strongly favor matter over ...
