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. Skip to main content Open menu Close menu ...

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.

The history of antimatter Nature Physics: Confinement of antihydrogen for 1,000 seconds. The team improved the efficiency of the antimatter trap by cooling antihydrogen atoms down to less than 0.5 ...

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 ...

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.

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 ...

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 ...

Nuclear scientists announced Sunday they have found a way to "trap" for more than 15 minutes elusive antimatter atoms that used to disappear after a fraction of a second. IE 11 is not supported.

Antimatter is the mirror version of every particle in the universe. ... Physicists only created antihydrogen atoms in the 1990s; they couldn’t trap and store some until 2010.

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 ...
