Unraveling a Cosmic Antimatter Mystery
Physicists invoke the cosmological collider to demonstrate why matter, not antimatter, dominates the universe. The universe was filled with equal numbers of matter and “antimatter” –…
Physicists Develop New Tool for Identifying Phases of Matter
Even if you’re not a physicist, phases of matter … really matter. They’re the distinct physical forms taken on by all the “stuff” in the…
Merging Neutron Stars Provide Insight Into Fundamental Properties of Matter
The option to measure the gravitational waves of two merging neutron stars has offered the chance to answer some of the fundamental questions about the…
Imbalance Between Matter and Antimatter Helps Explain Our Existence
The universe consists of matter. Matter is everything we see around us. That’s strange – but why? In theory, there should also be large amounts…
Physicists Discover Way to “Switch” Between the Different States of Matter
An international team of physicists has managed for the first time to experimentally observe a transition between two different states of matter: a propagating polariton-soliton…
CERN Details New Observation of Matter-Antimatter Asymmetry
A new study from the LHCb collaboration at CERN details the first observation of matter-antimatter asymmetry in the decays of the particle known as the…
Graphite Experiment Shines New Light on Laser-Driven Nuclear Fusion and Astrophysics
A newly published study, which examines how energy is shared between the different species of matter and how it is transferred from strongly heated electrons…
Cooling of Excitons Leads to a New State of Matter
A newly published paper details the findings made by physicists while measuring the coherence and spin of excitons in a refrigerated system. The team discovered…
Lab Experiment to Determine if Antimatter Weighs More than Baryonic Matter
Physicists at the University of California, Riverside, have set forward lab experiments to determine if antimatter behaves differently in gravity than baryonic matter. This could…
Researchers Use X-ray Laser to Create 2-Million-Degree Matter
Experiments carried out at the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory allowed scientists to control a 2-million-degree piece of matter. Researchers used…
