A mile beneath the Black Hills of South Dakota, crews have spent years blasting and hauling rock to carve out enormous ...

at the planets and stars, at the galaxies and clusters of galaxies, and at the gas, dust and plasma populating the space between these dense structures, we find the same signatures everywhere. We see ...

It’s time to live your ultimate supervillain fantasy. Today, you’re going to unleash your masterpiece of mass destruction. An ...

Artwork: shortly after the Big Bang which created the Universe, matter and antimatter existed in equal amounts Scientists have made a key discovery about antimatter - a mysterious substance which was ...

Our universe is dominated by matter. Sure, there is dark matter and dark energy, but things like stars, planets and people are made of matter. Protons, electrons, neutrons and such. But matter seems ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. Everything we see around us, from the ground beneath our feet to the most remote galaxies, is made of matter. For scientists, that ...

An artistic representation of antihyperhydrogen-4 — an antimatter hypernucleus made of an antiproton, two antineutrons, and an antilambda particle — created in a collision of two gold nuclei (left).

Nuclear scientists in Switzerland recently dropped some antimatter. The world didn’t blow up, but there were some tiny explosions. Scientists are hoping the experiment will teach them more about how ...

It’s invisible to the naked eye, will self-destruct if you touch it, and should have caused the destruction of the universe just moments after the Big Bang — enter antimatter, the bad boy of particle ...

Antimatter is a tricky substance to store and transport, mostly because of its habit of annihilating any container you try to put it in. Now, researchers at the BASE collaboration at CERN have ...

Antimatter propulsion is the Holy Grail of spaceflight. When matter and antimatter react, the energy produced is several billion times larger than the thermomechanical energy resulting from burning a ...
