The way particles interacted while the universe was forming seconds after the Big Bang could explain why the universe exists the way it does – a physicist explains matter-antimatter asymmetry.

Nothing is harder to find than you might think.
A decadelong experiment produced the most accurate measurement yet of the mass of W bosons. These particles are responsible for the weak force, and the result is more evidence for undiscovered physics.
Probabilistic processes are never time-reversible.
The force of nature that holds the atomic nucleus together is poorly understood, but that may be about to change.
Laser-cooling enables new measurements that could explain why antimatter is so scarce in our universe.
Researchers have found a way to speed up the search for dark matter using technology from quantum computing. By squeezing quantum noise, detectors can now look for axions twice as fast.
Field theory describes the universe as energy flowing along unending lines. With this perspective, it is possible to define a new fundamental building block of matter.
Cosmologists had only been able to find half the matter that should exist in the universe. With the discovery of a new astronomical phenomenon and new telescopes, researchers just found the rest.
The movies make it seem like someday we’ll be able to make people and objects grow really big or shrink really small. Whether this will be possible comes down to the smallest of things.
One day we will have a science of consciousness, but it won’t be science as we know it today
Gravity exists because the universe is full of ‘stuff’ – here’s how it came to be.
There are three ways heat can be shared: conduction, convection and radiation. Find out which one lets heat travel through space.
Everything you can touch is made of molecules – but feelings, sound and light are something different.
Cosmologists are heading back to their chalkboards as the experiments designed to figure out what this unknown 84 percent of our universe actually is come up empty.
One of the great mysteries of the universe is why there is so much more matter than antimatter. Now a new experiment is helping us understand the nature of antimatter better than ever before.
Forget solid, liquid, gas. This research used advanced math to theorize about topological phases of matter. And over the years experiments with matter and cold atoms have been validating the ideas.
The most powerful laser ever built could help us produce a machine that can turn energy into matter.
Cosmologists have detected a long sought component in the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB), which will help us to further…
Researchers at the CERN Laboratory in Geneva have taken the first spectroscopic measurements of antihydrogen, marking an…
