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 ...

Antimatter was first discovered in 1928 by physicist Paul Dirac, but it wasn’t through any experiment. Instead, he was working to blend the theories of quantum mechanics with special relativity.

Antimatter isn't exactly a common resource and there are some major technical and economic hurdles. For starters, antimatter instantaneously vaporizes when it touches normal matter.

Antimatter is important because it may help to explain fundamental cosmic mysteries, like why the universe is made of matter instead of an equal mix of matter and antimatter. These studies fit ...

A new discovery could finally shed light on a persistent cosmological mystery. The heaviest antimatter nucleus ever detected has been observed: antihyperhydrogen-4. Consisting of an antiproton, two ...

NASA estimates that creating a gram of antimatter would cost about $62.5 trillion. But why does antimatter matter? It may hold the key to understanding one of the universe’s biggest mysteries: why ...

An antimatter engine could theoretically accelerate a spacecraft at 1g (9.8 meters per second squared) getting us to Proxima in just five years, Weed said in 2016.

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.

To be sure, antimatter was not known about when Einstein published his general theory in 1915. It was discovered only in 1932. But the general theory treats all matter as identical, which would ...

Gravity makes antimatter fall just like everything else: study Around 13.8 billion years ago, the Big Bang is believed to have produced an equal amount of matter -- what everything you can see is ...
