Scientists have succesfully measured the direct influence of gravity on antimatter for the first time in history by dropping antihydrogen atoms from a magnetic trap, and observing as they annihalated ...

GENEVA (Reuters) - The European physics laboratory that reassured us it wouldn't destroy the Earth in a "Big Bang" experiment last year is now telling people not to fret about antimatter. Physicists ...

In context: Antimatter is a substance composed of antiparticles with an opposite electric charge compared to the corresponding particles in "ordinary" matter. Despite its opposite nature, antimatter ...

CERN is the only place on Earth that manufactures antimatter particles via high-energy collisions. Just a tiny amount of antimatter is capable of generating an explosion equivalent to a nuclear bomb.

New techniques developed at CERN could make it possible to stud whole atoms of antimatter and learn why there is something in the universe instead of nothing. Share on Facebook (opens in a new window) ...

For the first time, scientists have observed antimatter particles -- the mysterious twins of the visible matter all around us -- falling downwards due to the effect of gravity, Europe's physics lab ...

Berkeley Lab physicists and their colleagues in CERN’s ALPHA experiment present the first direct evidence of how atoms of antimatter interact with gravity The atoms that make up ordinary matter fall ...

Supermassive black holes have been known to belch gigantic beams of plasma into space – and now scientists have managed to recreate these fireballs in a lab at CERN. Although black holes are famous ...

Protons are the basic building blocks of matter. Together with neutrons, they form atomic nuclei. These minute, positively charged particles have an antimatter counterpart, antiprotons. While the ...
