Antimatter was first discovered in 1928 by physicist Paul Dirac, but it wasn't through any experiment. Instead, he was working to blend theContinue reading "How does the universe make antimatter?" ...

Although our universe is mostly normal matter, antimatter isn’t so hard to create — supernovae, black holes, and even bananas can make it.

The universe rocked into being 14 billion years ago, with a Big Bang that in theory should have created equal amounts of matter and antimatter.But look around you, or at the latest Webb telescope ...

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 ...

Our universe may have its own antimatter twin that exerts a gravitational pull on our own. Shutterstock How they did it — The team discovered an invariance in what are known as unitless parameters .

As far as we know, antimatter doesn’t exist naturally in the known universe, although we can now create small amounts at places like CERN's Antimatter Factory.

A substance called antimatter is at the heart of one of the greatest mysteries of the universe. We know that every particle has an antimatter companion that is virtually identical to itself, but ...

Frozen antimatter study to 'alter our understanding' of the universe. Researchers have for the first time slowed down an antimatter atom using lasers to more precisely study this physical phenomena.

Antimatter is the mirror version of every particle in the universe. For the last 100 years, physicists have been wondering if it falls down or up with gravity.

Scientists have spotted the heaviest antimatter nucleus ever detected lurking in a particle accelerator. The antimatter heavyweight, called antihyperhydrogen-4, is made up of an antiproton, two ...
