These elusive and reactive particles have been challenging to hold on to and even more challenging to study, but a new method paves the way for tests on the differences between matter and antimatter.
Physicists have trapped a single particle of antimatter for months and, for the first time, demonstrated that they can control its quantum behavior with extraordinary precision. The particle is a ...
The standard model of particle physics works really well, but it can't explain why the universe exists. Something is missing, ...
Northwestern University scientists have trapped a single positron, the antimatter counterpart of an electron, for months ...
Astronauts flew around the Moon this year, and Europe is deciding on its next great collider. A particle collider beyond ...
If you wanted a Nobel Prize, you would do well to study neutrinos. To date, the Nobel Prize in Physics has been awarded five ...
Northwestern scientists trapped a single positron for months at near absolute zero, resolving individual quantum energy steps ...
