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 ...

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 ...

If you dropped antimatter, would it fall down or up? In a unique laboratory experiment, researchers have now observed the downward path taken by individual atoms of antihydrogen, providing a ...

The image shows the predicted flux of antihelium-3 produced from dark matter (WIMPs) that annihilate producing these antinuclei. Each color represents the prediction for a different mass of dark ...

It’s around you, it’s a part of you, and scientists are still trying to figure it out. Antimatter: It’s the opposite of the matter we’re used to; it’s mysteriously elusive; and when it gets too close ...

"WIMPs are particles that have been theorized but never observed, and they could be the ideal candidate for dark matter," explains Pedro De la Torre Luque, a physicist at the Institute of theoretical ...
