Two teams of CERN physicists are racing to perform an extraordinary feat: transporting antimatter for the first time. Antimatter — matter’s mirror image — is difficult to create and ...

"There is currently no serious funding for advanced space propulsion concepts," Jackson said. However, there are other ways to produce antimatter. That's where Weed focused his work. Weed's ...

Scientists at CERN's ALICE detector are replicating conditions found during the Big Bang, attempting to get to the bottom of how matter came to dominate over antimatter. The world's most massive ...

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 ...
