Researchers at CERN have created and trapped antihydrogen in an attempt to study the underpinnings of the standard model of physics. Antihydrogen is made of antiparticles, specifically an antiproton ...

Physicists at CERN have found the value of the Lamb shift in antihydrogen closely agrees with the value in hydrogen This reaffirms a fundamental symmetry of nature Yet it can't tell us why we and the ...

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — The international collaborators of the ALPHA-2 experiment have measured the charge of antihydrogen to be zero with the greatest precision yet, narrowing the possibilities of ...

The ALPHA collaboration at CERN reports an important milestone on the way to measuring the properties of antimatter atoms. This follows news reported in June last year that the collaboration had ...

Physicists working at the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) in Geneva, Switzerland, have succeeded in trapping antihydrogen – the antimatter equivalent of the hydrogen atom – a ...

The first spectroscopy measurements of an atom of antimatter have been made by an international team of physicists working on the ALPHA experiment at CERN. The work is an important step towards ...

In Dan Brown’s novel “Angels and Demons,” villains try to use antimatter generated at CERN (the European Organization for Nuclear Research) to blow up the Vatican. The story is far-fetched, to be sure ...

European scientists say they have created enough antihydrogen _ a type of the mirror-image, antimatter stuff that fictionally powers spaceships on Star Trek _ to test a widely held basic model of the ...

How different are matter and antimatter? This is a question that gets at the heart of modern particle physics and early-universe cosmology. The objects of everyday experience are made of ordinary ...

Getting to the heart of antimatter: an artist's concept showing a trapped antihydrogen atom being released after 1000 seconds. The new proposal allows for such trapped antimatter to be laser cooled ...

Scientists working on the big bang machine in Geneva have done the seemingly impossible: create, capture and release antimatter. The development could help researchers devise laboratory experiments to ...

The antimatter version of the hydrogen atom - antihydrogen - could soon finally give up its secrets. Scientists expect that antihydrogen will have exactly the same properties as hydrogen; but after 80 ...
