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?" ...

There is practically no room for antimatter in this or at the interface of any known galaxies or galaxy clusters, severely constraining its possible presence in our Universe. NASA, ESA, ...

Antimatter remains a matter of confusion (sorry, awful pun) for a few reasons. As explained by Gizmodo in 2022: The universe rocked into being 14 billion years ago, with a Big Bang that in theory ...

When matter and antimatter come into contact, they annihilate each other, transforming their entire mass into energy. This process releases an energy density of 9 x 10¹⁶ J/kg.

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.

Dreams of antimatter space propulsion are closer to reality than most rocket scientists could ever imagine, says former Fermilab physicist Gerald Jackson. In fact, if money were no object, he says ...

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 ...

Nuclear scientists in Switzerland recently dropped some antimatter. The world didn’t blow up, but there were some tiny explosions.

Antimatter particles detected on the International Space Station (ISS) may be evidence for unknown physics, new research suggests. The particles, antimatter versions of helium nuclei, may have ...

Though it may sound bizarre, Antimatter is proving its hypothesis about the power of shitposting as an educational tool. The company just closed a $2 million seed round, led by Version One.

Antimatter does not “fall up”, but rather responds to the gravitational pull of the Earth in much the same way as normal matter. That is the conclusion of physicists working on the ALPHA-g experiment ...

The ALPHA experiment was started in 2013 to study antimatter like never before. It merges antiprotons created in the CERN antimatter factory’s AD and ELENA machines and binds them with positrons ...
