The Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope is one of the American space agency's best observatories, especially suited to discovering gamma-ray bursts coming towards our planet from the distant Universe. However, in its first 14 months of operations, the machine was able to record some peculiar signals coming in from t... |

In various new-age astronomy theories, dark matter and dark energy play central roles. In spite of the fact that even newer models have demonstrated that some yet-unexplained phenomena do not require the introduction of these elements in the equation, some scientists continue to push on for the creation of instrument... |

Ever since the standard model was first created, depicting the interactions between all forms of matter, physicists who created it, and all those who came afterwards, drew attention to one of its major drawbacks, namely that it erased us all from existence. That is to say, it holds that matter and antimatter annihila... |

Scientists at the Clemson University have been recently awarded $244,000 in order to continue studying data from various ground- and space-based telescopes, which supply an almost uninterrupted feed of a very weird emission coming from the center of our galaxy. NASA asked the astrophysicists at Clemson to try to esta... |

The European Center for Nuclear Research (CERN) is currently trying to reassure people of the fact that it's physically impossible to create antimatter in the world's largest particle accelerator, so as to allay fears that have been growing over the past years. In Dan Brown's book, “Angels & Demo... |

A team of scientists from the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in California came up with a technique that allows obtaining impressive quantities of antimatter. But as the antimatter suddenly became so easily available, two problems related to it subsequently occurred. The former refers to the possibility of st... |

The issue that involves the symmetry breaking physics field is among the most important concerns in the world of physics, as demonstrated by the recent winning of a Nobel prize, since it could provide a much better understanding of the way the universe was created a few seconds after the Big Bang, as well as how... |

As it was somewhat expected, given this year's debates over various quantum particles topics, but mainly those related to CERN's Large Hadron Collider, the Nobel Prize for physics was awarded yesterday for groundbreaking discoveries in the field of quantum physics. Thus, it was handed to some researchers t... |

Why is there so much matter in the universe, but hardly any antimatter, and where do matter and antimatter actually come from? These are the questions pursued by a team of researchers from the Institut Laue-Langevin in Grenoble, currently preparing to carry out an experiment destined to measure the electrical dipole ... |

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 ... |

The Big Bang theory suggests that, in the early life stages of the universe, a massive number of black holes might have been created. Although not as massive as most of the black holes created from stellar remnants, a part of these tiny black holes might still be lurking through space. In the 1970s, the famous physic... |

ESA's gamma-ray space observatory, Integral, detected what seems to be a mysterious cloud of antimatter in the close vicinity of the Milky Way's central core, and its specific shape seems to point towards its origins, as previously there were no valid theories regarding the processes which could be held res... |

There is a place on Earth, deep underground, where whole atoms of antimatter are being built. This is no top secret government installation, it's just the largest physical experiment in the world. CERN's Large Hadron Collider, built below ground level, spanning in at the border of two countries, Switzerlan... |

The following article is an excerpt from work by David Allen Batchelor, available online here.Generally, Star Trek is pretty intelligently written and more faithful to science than any other science fiction series ever shown on television. Star Trek also attracts and excites generations of viewers about advanced sci... |
