Antimatter physics

There's actually not much separating matter and antimatter.

Physicists have finally used laser cooling to tame unruly antimatter atoms. That could allow new tests of symmetry and Einstein’s theory of gravity.

Antimatter is the opposite of normal matter. More specifically, the sub-atomic particles of antimatter have properties opposite those of normal matter. The electrical charge of those particles is reversed. Antimatter was created along with matter after the Big Bang, but antimatter is rare in today's universe, and scientists aren't sure why.

Imagine a dust particle in a storm cloud, and you can get an idea of a neutron's insignificance compared to the magnitude of the molecule it inhabits. MIT physicists find radioactive molecules are sensitive to subtle nuclear effects, and could be ideal probes for explaining why there is more matter than antimatter in the universe [Credit: MIT News] But just as a dust mote might affect a cloud's track, a neutron can influence the energy of its molecule despite being less than one-millionth…

A researcher from USC Dornsife in psychology comparing brain images has found significant differences in the brain processing patterns of lonely individuals when compared to those who aren't lonely. The Russian writer and philosopher Leo Tolstoy may have been onto something when he wrote the openin

EXPLAINER: WHAT IS ANTIMATTER? #physics #science

A new study offers evidence that neutrinos are responsible for the universe is dominated by matter. Why matter persists over antimatter? This is a question that the current laws of physics can’t still explain, although scientists believe that there must be equal amounts of matter and antimatter at the beginning of the universe. But this […] The post Neutrinos explain how the universe exists appeared first on Tech Explorist

Learn what antimatter is, how it differs from regular matter, and what happens when the two collide. Get examples of antimatter in real life.

A hint that neutrinos behave differently than antineutrinos suggests an answer to one the biggest questions in physics.
