The sPHENIX particle detector, the newest experiment at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) at the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Brookhaven National Laboratory, has released its first ...

Stevens’ team harnesses both the “wave-ness” and “particle-ness” of quantum objects to develop a groundbreaking imaging technique. Over the past century, quantum mechanics has dramatically reshaped ...

Physicists would dearly love to find new particles, but there's no sign of them in colliders like the LHC. Now we have found a new way of accessing a tiny slice of reality where they might be hiding ...

It may sound like a plot twist out of a science fiction novel, but researchers have detected mysterious radio signals coming from beneath the Antarctic ice that appear to be inconsistent with the ...

Physicists working at the CERN particle physics lab said they detected a slight but significant difference in how particles of matter and antimatter decay.

16 Jul 2025

CERN physicists observed matter-antimatter imbalance in a baryon. Antiparticles possess the same mass as matter but opposite charge. The Big Bang should have created equal matter and antimatter.

Researchers have discovered perplexing radio signals beneath Antarctic ice, contradicting established particle physics models.

20 Jul 2025

The Big Bang made matter and antimatter in equal measure, so where did all the antimatter go? This cosmic imbalance may hold the key to why anything exists at all.

23 Jul 2025

Researchers at CERN have observed for the first time that matter and antimatter behave differently in decaying, heavy subatomic particles.

18 Jul 2025

New research predicts surprisingly large CP violation effects in charmed baryon decays, an essential step toward solving the universe's matter-antimatter imbalance. Scientists have long been intrigued ...

A rather unassuming particle is playing an important role in the hunt for subatomic oddities. Similar to protons and neutrons, mesons are composed of quarks bound together by the strong nuclear force.

For instance, there was a chance that antimatter could be repelled by gravity rather than attracted – meaning it would fall upwards. To test the idea, CERN physicists previously conducted 'drop' tests ...
