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 ...

In a breakthrough for antimatter research, the BASE collaboration at CERN has kept an antiproton—the antimatter counterpart of a proton—oscillating smoothly between two different quantum states for ...

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.

17 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

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.

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 ...

The Standard Model of particle physics—the theory of particles and interactions at the smallest scale—predicts that matter and antimatter interact differently due to violation of the combined symmetry ...
