Could Simple Experiments Reveal the Quantum Nature of Spacetime? 2012-02-02T15:45:22.977Z An EDM for the neutron would violate charge-parity symmetry, which dictates that particle interactions are unchanged when particles are replaced by their antimatter counterparts and by their mirror images. Efforts to Measure Neutron's Charge Are Plagued by Difficulties 2012-02-01T15:45:10.403Z The peculiar thing about this discovery is that Fermi isn’t even an antimatter detector. Magnetoastrocoolness: How Cosmic Magnetic Fields Shape Planetary Systems 2012-01-13T16:15:05.427Z Around 40 years ago, society started to use antimatter in the hospital. A Conversation With CERN's Rolf-Dieter Heuer 2012-01-13T15:43:36Z Theorists generally believe that when two dark matter particles collide, they should annihilate each other to produce ordinary particles, such as an electron and its antimatter twin, a positron. Cosmic Antimatter Excess Confirmed 2011-11-22T21:13:00Z Most probably, theorists say, the properties of matter and antimatter aren't quite symmetrical. Particle Smasher Hints at Physics Breakthrough 2011-11-17T18:28:49Z Indeed, at least one worker thinks Fermilab will be as significant as—and in some ways superior to—the "B factory" planned for Stanford University to explore why matter dominates antimatter in the universe. "You're the Top..." [From the Archive] 2011-09-29T17:15:03.417Z Last fall Fermi confirmed earlier findings that positrons are peppering our planet; these cosmic particles, the antimatter twin of electrons, might originate in the self-destruction of dark-matter particles. Magnetoastrocoolness: How Cosmic Magnetic Fields Shape Planetary Systems 2012-01-13T16:15:05.427Z But while our electric field rotates to the right by 90 degrees, its evil antimatter twin also rotates the same way! Galactic Challenge Part III: The "Easy" Solutions 2011-09-12T18:15:05.793Z By comparing oscillations of neutrinos with those of antineutrinos, it might also provide clues about the imbalance of matter and antimatter in the Universe. Seven days: 12?18 August 2011 2011-08-17T17:20:40.867Z The best concepts for antimatter propulsion require that the antiprotons be collected and isolated. Antimatter Belt Found Circling Earth 2011-08-09T20:55:14Z According to the Standard Model, a top quark and its antimatter twin could appear in proton-antiproton collisions. "You're the Top..." [From the Archive] 2011-09-29T17:15:03.417Z Posted to Antimatter Belt Detected Orbiting the Earth “What's the link between antimatter and more efficient solar energy?” How Long Does Innovation Last? 2011-08-09T17:48:13Z But what if the aliens were made entirely of antimatter? Galactic Challenge Part III: The "Easy" Solutions 2011-09-12T18:15:05.793Z Maybe someday, but fusion and improved solar energy seem to be more practical than antimatter as directions to move to for cheaper energy. Antimatter Belt Detected Orbiting the Earth 2011-08-08T02:50:25Z The researchers say there may be enough to implement a scheme using antimatter to fuel future spacecraft. Antimatter belt 'surrounds Earth' 2011-08-07T09:54:28Z The question remains: why did this not occur in the early Universe with the equal amounts of matter and antimatter, resulting in a Universe devoid of both? Antimatter mystery gains ground 2011-07-01T16:42:56Z And, crucially, it also governs the description of the putative asymmetry between matter and antimatter that left matter as the dominant feature of the universe after the Big Bang. Delta force 2011-06-23T10:54:47Z In an antimatter world, the small things that orbit atoms would be anti-electrons, also known as positrons, and they would accelerate in the direction of the electric field, not the opposite. Galactic Challenge Part III: The "Easy" Solutions 2011-09-12T18:15:05.793Z We are very far away from even reliably containing antimatter for long periods of time — the current record is 15 minutes – much less manipulating antimatter for practical purposes. Antimatter Belt Detected Orbiting the Earth 2011-08-08T02:50:25Z Among Pamela's goals was to specifically look for small numbers of antimatter particles among the far more abundant normal matter particles such as protons and the nuclei of helium atoms. Antimatter belt 'surrounds Earth' 2011-08-07T09:54:28Z In 2010, researchers at the Tevatron accelerator claimed preliminary results showing a small excess of matter over antimatter as particles decayed. Antimatter mystery gains ground 2011-07-01T16:42:56Z But it raises the prospect that future experiments will be able to test the symmetry between matter and antimatter, by comparing neutrino oscillations with those of antineutrinos. Seven days: 23 June 2011 2011-06-22T17:20:17.267Z Wheeler, as close to an antimatter hippie as can be imagined, diplomatically rebuffed the San Francisco cabal. What Physics Owes the Counterculture 2011-06-17T20:02:54Z In itself, that preliminary observation tells physicists nothing new about the relationship between matter and antimatter. First Results From Japanese Neutrino Experiment Hint at Big Things to Come 2011-06-15T23:05:34Z The original discovery of antimatter was a nice example of theory predicting an undiscovered fact. Fundamental physics: Antimatter of fact 2011-06-09T11:07:17Z Matter and antimatter are identical except for opposite charge, and destroy each other when they meet. Science ups the 'anti' on matter 2011-06-06T09:12:12Z Studying antimatter by way of experiments like these should offer insights, if not an outright answer. Amazing Science: Antimatter Created for 17 Minutes 2011-06-06T17:46:09Z Physicists plan to look for differences between its behavior and that of normal hydrogen that might explain why normal matter dominates the universe and antimatter is nearly nonexistent. Capture of antimatter opens window on Big Bang 2011-06-06T04:11:04Z The result takes physicists a key step closer to their decades-old goal of precisely comparing hydrogen to antihydrogen in hopes of finding a flaw in a key symmetry between matter and antimatter. Antiatoms, All Out of Energy and Ready for Work 2011-06-05T18:00:00Z Instead, Dirac interpreted it as antimatter—and, four years later, it turned up in a real experiment. Fundamental physics: Antimatter of fact 2011-06-09T11:07:17Z The question is very simple: do matter and antimatter obey the same laws of physics? Science ups the 'anti' on matter 2011-06-06T09:12:12Z Put the matter and antimatter atoms together and they annihilate each other in bursts of energy. Amazing Science: Antimatter Created for 17 Minutes 2011-06-06T17:46:09Z And just as the neutral hydrogen atom is made of a single proton bound to an electron, an atom of antihydrogen comprises an antiproton and a positron, the antimatter counterparts, respectively. Stick Up: Antimatter Atoms Trapped for More Than 15 Minutes 2011-06-05T17:15:00.427Z Eventually, a liberated antimatter atom would then drift into the electrodes, annihilating on contact with ordinary matter to produce a telltale spray of particles called pions. Antiatoms, All Out of Energy and Ready for Work 2011-06-05T18:00:00Z That galaxies, stars and planets—and physicists to ponder such things—exist therefore means there is a subtle asymmetry between matter and antimatter, and that nature somehow favours the former. Fundamental physics: Antimatter of fact 2011-06-09T11:07:17Z The existence of antimatter is old news, however. Antimatter and dark matter detector travels to space station 2011-05-25T09:00:00Z After the Big Bang, scientists believe, there were equal amounts of matter and antimatter, but now there is far more matter. Chicago News Cooperative: Atom-Smasher Retires; Lab Makes Career Switch 2011-05-21T21:14:16Z One of the mysteries the device was designed to explore is what happened to the antimatter that must have been created when the universe was born. NASA Installs Device at Space Station in Long-Sought Quest for Antimatter 2011-05-20T00:22:00Z Once attached to the station, the detector will analyze high-energy cosmic rays for signs of dark matter, antimatter and other exotic phenomena. NASA fueling shuttle for launch Monday 2011-05-16T12:07:20Z Endeavour's primary payload is the $2 billion Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer, which is designed to probe high-energy cosmic rays for signs of dark matter, antimatter and other exotic phenomenon. NASA repairs shuttle problem and sets May 16 launch 2011-05-09T21:54:16Z No matter what happens with the more speculative search for antimatter, the AMS should produce a definitive map of the cosmic-ray sky, helping to build a kind of astronomy that doesn't depend on light. Antiuniverse here we come 2011-05-04T17:20:30.963Z The AMS will study high-energy cosmic ray particles from low Earth orbit, without interference from the planet's atmosphere, to help scientists better understand and perhaps locate antimatter and dark matter. Countdown to space shuttle Endeavour's final launch 2011-04-28T20:15:00.280Z You have matter, you must have antimatter; otherwise we would not have come from the vacuum. NASA Installs Device at Space Station in Long-Sought Quest for Antimatter 2011-05-20T00:22:00Z In past collision studies at RHIC, antimatter particles have been seen to spring out of the fireball. Anti-Helium Produced 2011-04-25T16:47:00Z The primary purpose of the flight is to deliver the $2 billion Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer, or AMS, particle detector, an instrument designed to detect dark matter, antimatter and other exotic phenomena. NASA clears shuttle Endeavour for April 29 launch 2011-04-19T21:42:54Z Now a refined version of an old calculation is causing a stir by suggesting that researchers have also systematically underestimated the number of the particles' antimatter partners--antineutrinos--produced by nuclear reactor experiments. The Amazing Disappearing Neutrino 2011-04-01T20:45:00.257Z But so far the cause of the matter–antimatter asymmetry remains an open question. Antimatter of Fact: Collider Generates Most Massive Antinucleus Yet 2011-03-24T11:15:00.257Z The question is, where is the universe made out of antimatter?” NASA Installs Device at Space Station in Long-Sought Quest for Antimatter 2011-05-20T00:22:00Z Even as its presence was being sensed, the anti-helium annihilated with ordinary matter in the detectors, releasing a characteristic short burst of energy to signify the destruction of the new antimatter. Anti-Helium Produced 2011-04-25T16:47:00Z For the weak force experiments, physicists needed high-speed collisions between a proton, a particle found in the nucleus of atoms, and its antimatter doppelganger, the antiproton. Simon van der Meer, Nobel Laureate, Dies at 85 2011-03-12T02:31:51Z "But what absolutely intrigues us is the discovery that TGFs produce not just gamma rays but also produce positrons, the antimatter equivalent to electrons." Antimatter 'streams from storms' 2011-01-11T08:34:33Z What would be a shock would be some deviation in the way antimatter behaves as compared with matter, which might help explain why our cosmic surroundings are dominated by matter and almost bereft of antimatter. Antimatter of Fact: Collider Generates Most Massive Antinucleus Yet 2011-03-24T11:15:00.257Z According to the laws of physics, equal amounts of matter and its science-fiction-sounding evil twin, antimatter, which annihilates ordinary matter in a flash of energy upon contact, should have been created during the Big Bang. A Costly Quest for the Dark Heart of the Cosmos 2010-11-17T11:38:00Z These are expected to send some antimatter particles in the direction of Earth, where, with orbiting telescopes stationed above the Earth’s atmosphere, they have been observed. Anti-Helium Produced 2011-04-25T16:47:00Z Since the hydrogen atom is one of the best-measured systems in all of science, this opens the door to a series of experiments testing just how similar matter and antimatter really are. Antimatter: Gotcha! 2010-11-18T11:27:00Z Are there far away galaxies made of antimatter? The International Space Station: a giant science laboratory 2010-10-24T20:00:00Z I told him I couldn’t think of any reason why antimatter wasn’t a plausible explanation. Rivka Galchen: “The Entire Northern Side Was Covered with Fire.” 2010-06-07T04:00:00Z By then nobody, with the possible exception of Dr. Ting, expected the experiment to find any primordial antimatter. A Costly Quest for the Dark Heart of the Cosmos 2010-11-17T11:38:00Z So the miniature universe inside the accelerator went from being neutral to being about 1 percent more matter than antimatter. From Fermilab, a New Clue to Explain Human Existence 2010-05-17T18:12:00Z Furthermore, it is thought that gravity should pull on matter and antimatter in just the same way. Antimatter: Gotcha! 2010-11-18T11:27:00Z Like most discoveries in particle physics, the true significance of breakthroughs in dark matter, antimatter or dark energy would only become clear after the revelations are made. Geneva Atom Smasher Seeks Dark Matter Discoveries 2010-03-08T17:37:00Z On the average, one atom out of every ten million in the universe was an atom of antimatter. Psichopath Now, as we observe the ship, I am going to concentrate on this counterpart of the atom that your scientists might refer to as antimatter or antiparticle. Abducted to Oz They oscillate back and forth trillions of times a second between their regular state and their antimatter state. From Fermilab, a New Clue to Explain Human Existence 2010-05-17T18:12:00Z Soon it will be able to see just how contrarian antimatter really is. Antimatter: Gotcha! 2010-11-18T11:27:00Z The distribution was unequal of course; antimatter could not exist in contact with ordinary matter. Psichopath |
