CERN is the only place on Earth that manufactures antimatter particles via high-energy collisions. Just a tiny amount of antimatter is capable of generating an explosion equivalent to a nuclear bomb.

One of the big questions in science is not just "why are we here?' It's, "why is anything here?" Scientists at CERN have been looking into this one over the last ...

In context: Antimatter is a substance composed of antiparticles with an opposite electric charge compared to the corresponding particles in "ordinary" matter. Despite its opposite nature, antimatter ...

Scientists have succesfully measured the direct influence of gravity on antimatter for the first time in history by dropping antihydrogen atoms from a magnetic trap, and observing as they annihalated ...

Physicists at CERN — home of the Large Hadron Collider — have for the first time made a qubit from antimatter, holding an antiproton in a state of quantum superposition for almost a minute. This ...

Writer Chetna Krishna follows CERN’s “coolest” transport, a test of a system to ship stored antimatter across the continent. I reach CERN’s Antimatter Factory at 8 a.m. sharp. I’m here at the ...

One pound of antimatter contains 40,766 terajoules of energy. A pound of antimatter, when containment fails, would interact with a pound of matter (which, of course, also contains 40.766 Tj of energy) ...

Strange matter Illustration of how antihyperhelium-4 – a bound state of two antiprotons, an antineutron and an antilambda – is created in lead–lead collisions at CERN. (Courtesy: CERN/ J Ditzel with ...

Researchers at CERN have gotten comfortable with antimatter -- so comfortable, in fact, they're planning to load a billion antimatter particles into a van for a quick field trip. Share on Facebook ...

A team of physicists determined that enigmatic ‘antinuclei’ can travel across the universe without being absorbed by the interstellar medium. The finding suggests we may be able to identify antimatter ...

Supermassive black holes have been known to belch gigantic beams of plasma into space – and now scientists have managed to recreate these fireballs in a lab at CERN. Although black holes are famous ...
