Theoretical physicists working with the LHCb experiment at CERN's Large Hadron Collider (LHC) have stumbled upon an anomaly that challenges the Standard Model. It's possible that there are ye…
Particle physicists at CERN have caught the first glimpse of a long-sought-after quasiparticle, which they've been hunting since the 1970s. The curious state, called an odderon, is made up of an …
After two decades of trying, physicists at CERN have reported the first ever measurement of the light emitted by an antimatter atom, revealing that anti-hydrogen is the exact mirror image of regular …
China aims to build the largest and most powerful machine ever built by mankind, a super-collider twice the size of CERN in an effort to finally understand the universe and its composition. The reign…
It’s been about nine months since a team of CERN researchers succeeded in their goal of measuring the spectrum of light emitted from hydrogen’s mirror particle, antihydrogen. They were just getting …
One of the great mysteries of modern physics is why antimatter did not destroy the universe at the beginning of time. To explain it, physicists suppose there must be some difference between matter an…
The universe we live in is so complex and glorious, that if we could start to grasp what is actually happening for a moment we’d fall to our knees and surrender to its marvelous beauty. For years sci…
The ALPHA experiment at CERN hopes to answer one of the most fundamental questions in physics: Why is there more matter than antimatter in the universe? This is a rather troublesome quest to pursue…
