Experts with the ALPHA Collaboration at the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) have successfully analyzed the internal structure of an anti-atom for the first time ever. Their study could open up entirely new avenues of research in science .
The spectroscopic measurements were conducted on an antihydr... |

A collaboration of physicists working at the world's largest particle accelerator announce that it is possible to trap antihydrogen atoms for nearly 17 minutes inside containment chambers. In total, the ALPHA Collaboration at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) managed to trap 309 atoms, some of which endured for as... |

Scientists announced the achievement of an important milestone in particle physics – the confinement of antimatter particles for prolonged periods of time. Experts were able to contain antihydrogen nuclei for no less than 1,000 seconds, which is the equivalent of 16.6 minutes. The previous record was less than ... |

The exact opposite of matter, antimatter, has been known to exist for decades now, although how it behaves in the presence of a gravitational field remains mostly unknown even though countless experiments have been conducted over the years. Each particle described in the Standard Model has its own antiparticle counte... |

Most contemporary scientists would argue that matter and antimatter behave roughly in the same ways, however proving it is some kind of a challenge. Why? Well, mostly because there is hardly any antimatter in the universe today. Creating antimatter particles is relatively easy in our particle accelerators, capturing ... |
