A new finding at CERN on the French-Swiss border brings us closer to answering why matter dominates over its opposite, ...
Two recent studies speculate a natural emergence of the mysterious substance, offering ‘self-contained and calculable ...
There's a significant imbalance between matter and antimatter in our universe, but a strange particle called "the Majoran" ...
The theorists predict that the beginning of the end will be in about 10 billion years — less than the present age of the ...
A new version of the famous double-slit experiment showed that it's impossible to measure light as both a wave and a particle at the same time, thanks to quantum physics' uncertainty principle.
Particle physics describes the universe at the smallest scale. This includes subatomic particles, like protons and neutrons, as well as elementary particles, like quarks and electrons, which make ...
The newly found antiparticle, called antihyperhydrogen-4, could have a potential imbalance with its matter counterpart that may help scientists understand how our universe came to be.
The ever-accelerating expansion of the universe may be driven by a mysterious form of matter called "unparticles," which do not obey the Standard Model of particle physics, a new theoretical paper ...
Although our universe may seem stable, having existed for a whopping 13.7 billion years, several experiments suggest that it is at risk – walking on the edge of a very dangerous cliff. And it’s all ...
A hypothetical “inflaton” particle fueled the universe’s initial expansion out of a single atom – all in the fraction of a nanosecond. And we might soon find the particle responsible.
Cern's Large Hadron Collider routinely collides particles at energies equivalent to a fraction of a second after the Big Bang, but a particle with the energy of an LHC collision hits every square ...
