Physicists recorded the lowest-energy neutrino event yet, using signals from the particles’ antimatter counterpart produced in a nuclear reactor. Reading time: Reading time 4 minutes Neutrinos are ...

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 ...

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 ...

The first-known observations of matter–antimatter asymmetry in a decaying composite subatomic particle that belongs to the baryon class are reported from the LHCb experiment located at the Large ...

For the first time, physicists at CERN have coaxed an antiproton — a mirror twin of the matter that makes up our world — into behaving like a quantum bit, or qubit. The antiproton held its quantum ...

Another antimatter record has been broken. In the smash-up of very energetic lead ions, researchers have uncovered evidence of the heaviest antimatter version of an atomic nucleus ever seen. In 2024, ...

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 ...

One pound of antimatter contains 40,766 terajoules of energy. A pound of antimatter, when containment fails, would interact with a pound of matter (which, of course, also contains 40.766 Tj of energy) ...

Everything we see around us, from the ground beneath our feet to the most remote galaxies, is made of matter. For scientists, that has long posed a problem: According to physicists’ best current ...

Forward-looking: Antimatter consists of particles with properties opposite to those of regular particles. It plays a central role in modern physics research and forms naturally through cosmic ...

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 ...
