Antimatter is a tricky substance to study, not least because it will annihilate any container you try to put it in. But now, physicists at CERN have developed a new antimatter trap that can cool ...

To learn about antimatter, you have to catch it first. In November, researchers did just that - for less than a second. Now, they've been able to trap antihydrogen for a record 16 minutes.

Antimatter, an elusive type of matter that's rare in the universe, has now been trapped for more than 16 minutes — an eternity in particle physics.

Research by my colleagues at Cern and I has produced a way to create, trap and laser-cool antimatter for long enough for us to target a whole new set of more accurate measurements.

Antimatter, an elusive type of matter that's rare in the universe, has now been trapped for more than 16 minutes — an eternity in particle physics. Skip to main content Open menu Close menu ...

CERN traps antimatter for long enough to do serious science on it ... The differences are so tiny that the trap will only work if the antihydrogen has an energy of 50μeV ...

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Creating matter's strange cousin antimatter is tricky, but holding onto it is even trickier. Now scientists are working on a new device that may be able to trap antimatter ...

Scientists at the Antihydrogen Laser Physics Apparatus (ALPHA,) a branch of CERN (the European Organization for Nuclear Research,) have managed to trap atoms of antihydrogen in a magnetic trap for ...

CERN physicists have shown that antimatter falls downward due to gravity, just like regular matter, according to a new paper published in the journal Nature. It's not a particularly surprising ...

The challenge was in traveling with antimatter. Thanks to Smorra’s Penning trap, now it seems to be possible. “We are trying to do it this year.

Antimatter, an elusive type of matter that's rare in the universe, has now been trapped for more than 16 minutes — an eternity in particle physics.

IRA FLATOW, host: This is SCIENCE FRIDAY, I’m Ira Flatow, trying to overcome a bout of laryngitis so see if you can hang in there with me for this program. Our current ideas of the universe say ...
