Why matter matters in the universeA new physics discovery explores why there is more matter than antimatter in the universe. The latest research findings, which involved significant contributions from physicists at the University of Melbourne, have been recently ... |
Advancing the study of antimatter“Right now, most physicists would predict that hydrogen and antihydrogen have the same properties,” Gerald Gabrielse tells Physorg.com, “What’s irresistible is that we of the opportunity to – potentially – look for ... |
Study confirms 1966 prediction: The most energetic particles in the universe are not from the neighborhoodFinal results from the University of Utah’s High-Resolution Fly’s Eye cosmic ray observatory show that the most energetic particles in the universe rarely reach Earth at full strength because they come from great distances, ... |
![]() ATLAS completes world's largest jigsaw puzzleToday the ATLAS collaboration at CERN celebrates the lowering of its last large detector element. The ATLAS detector is the world’s largest general-purpose particle detector, measuring 46 metres long, 25 ... |
A 'Golden Channel' for New PhysicsA group of physicists has dubbed a particular particle decay, the decay of the Bs meson into a neutral kaon and neutral antikaon, as a “golden channel” for new physics, suggesting that probing and studying the decay could ... |
CMS celebrates the lowering of its final detector elementIn the early hours of the morning the final element of the Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) detector began the descent into its underground experimental cavern in preparation for the start-up of CERN’s Large Hadron Collider (LHC) ... |
![]() Integral discovers the galaxy’s antimatter cloud is lopsidedThe shape of the mysterious cloud of antimatter in the central regions of the Milky Way has been revealed by ESA’s orbiting gamma-ray observatory Integral. The unexpectedly lopsided shape is a new clue to ... |
![]() Study: Dark matter in newborn universe doused earliest stars“Dark star crashes, pouring its light into ashes” – The Grateful Dead, 1967. Perhaps the first stars in the newborn universe did not shine, but instead were invisible “dark stars” 400 to 200,000 times ... |
Large Hadron Collider: VELO -- in you go!One of the most fragile detectors for the Large Hadron Collider beauty (LHCb) experiment has been successfully installed in its final position. LHCb is one of four large experiments at CERN’s Large Hadron Collider (LHC), ... |
![]() NC State Nuclear Reactor Program Celebrates Scientific BreakthroughThere were high-fives all around NC State University's PULSTAR nuclear reactor earlier this month, as students, staff and faculty celebrated a new scientific benchmark - they had just produced the most intense ... |
![]() Science with Integral -- 5 years onWith eyes that peer into the most energetic phenomena in the universe, ESA’s Integral has been setting records, discovering the unexpected and helping understanding the unknown over its first five years. |
![]() PEP-II Delivers Half an Inverse Attobarn to BaBar, With More to ComeThanks to a steady push during the course of eight years, the PEP-II accelerator has now delivered double the amount of data originally expected when the BaBar experiment first started up in May of 1999. |
![]() Matter-antimatter molecules of positronium observed in the lab for the first timePhysicists at UC Riverside have created molecular positronium, an entirely new object in the laboratory. Briefly stable, each molecule is made up of a pair of electrons and a pair of their antiparticles, called ... |
