The world’s most expensive substances command their prices for very different reasons. Some, like rare gemstones, are ...

Scientists are exploring the possibilities of antimatter propulsion as they try to achieve interstellar travel. While conventional rockets provide high thrust, they struggle with low efficiency.

This video delves into the true nature of antimatter and its potential use as a weapon. From the Big Bang to bananas, we ...

A simple explanation of dark matter and antimatter, how they differ, how scientists study them, and why both are important to understanding the universe.

Physics tells us that a hammer and a feather, dropped in a vacuum, will fall at the same rate – as famously demonstrated by an Apollo 15 astronaut on the Moon. Now, CERN scientists are preparing to ...

On December 15, a football-field-sized balloon took flight over Antarctica, embarking on a mission that could reshape our understanding of the universe. Spearheaded by theUniversity of Hawaiʻi at ...

Scientists have taken the first-ever measurement of an atom made of antimatter. This measurement, though not very precise, represents a first step toward being able to study antimatter atoms in detail ...

Project Blue’s scientists still have to raise more than $800,000 over the next 15 days to reach their initial crowdfunding goal for a mission to observe Alpha Centauri’s alien planets, but they’re ...

"Antimatter men" haunted comic books and TV science-fiction shows such as "Lost in Space" in the 1960s. On the TV show, the fictional Professor Robinson encountered little more than a nonsensical ...

Antimatter isn't the absurd theoretical substance it sounds like—it's just material composed of particles that have the same mass as conventional particles, but opposite charges. An electron with a ...

In one of those physics announcements that may or may not prove important when we figure out the ultimate nature of the universe, scientists at CERN, the European lab for particle physics, announced ...
