(Phys.org)—It was another good week for physics as a team of researchers found some ways to increase antihydrogen production—having more of the stuff could lead to better experiments to learn more about antimatter in ...
(Phys.org)—There are many experiments that physicists would like to perform on antimatter, from studying its properties with spectroscopic measurements to testing how it interacts with gravity. But in order to perform these ...
New research published today by researchers from CERN has brought us a step closer to understanding where all the antimatter has gone. This matter-antimatter asymmetry is one of the greatest challenges in physics and at this ...
