Why didn’t the universe annihilate itself moments after the big bang? A new finding at Cern on the French-Swiss border brings us closer to answering this fundamental question about why matter ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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) ...

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 ...
