Recent discoveries in the field of quantum physics have identified a new class of particles known as anyons, which hold the potential to bridge the gap between quantum mechanics and classical physics.

Physicists have created the heaviest clumps of antimatter particles ever seen. Known as antihyperhydrogen-4, this strange stuff could help us solve some of the most puzzling physics mysteries.

Eight years ago, the International Space Station detected weird antimatter particles that challenge our entire understanding of physics. Now, researchers have proposed that mysterious cosmic ...

They observe for the first time the decay of baryons, particles that make up the majority of the matter in the observable universe. After the Big Bang, matter and antimatter were created in equal ...

Understanding why we live in a matter-dominated universe demands that scientists recreate the quark-gluon plasma that existed one millionth of a second after the Big Bang. A Large Ion Collider ...

Black holes can’t be formed from pure light. Quantum physics would curb their creation under any foreseeable conditions, a new study suggests. Typically, matter is responsible for black holes. They’re ...

A pulsar – a dead star not much larger than a city – has been spotted releasing a giant beam of particles and antiparticles about 7 light-years long, roughly 68 trillion kilometers (42 trillion miles) ...

Laura holds a Master's in Experimental Neuroscience and a Bachelor's in Biology from Imperial College London. Her areas of expertise include health, medicine, psychology, and neuroscience. Particles ...

At the foot of the thickly forested Dashi Hill, in southern China’s Guangdong province, pre-approved visitors can take a ride aboard a unique yellow train. Rather than winding through the serene ...

Consider it good news, physicists say: “The opposite result would have had big implications.” By Dennis Overbye Antimatter just lost a little more pizazz. Physicists know that for every fundamental ...

A complete survey of all the particle and antiparticle activity that goes on during the Sun’s 11-year cycle has found previously unknown ways these particles behave. Cosmic rays coming from outside ...
