Researchers at CERN have created and trapped antihydrogen in an attempt to study the underpinnings of the standard model of physics. Antihydrogen is made of antiparticles, specifically an antiproton ...

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — The international collaborators of the ALPHA-2 experiment have measured the charge of antihydrogen to be zero with the greatest precision yet, narrowing the possibilities of ...

The ALPHA collaboration at CERN reports an important milestone on the way to measuring the properties of antimatter atoms. This follows news reported in June last year that the collaboration had ...

Physicists working at the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) in Geneva, Switzerland, have succeeded in trapping antihydrogen – the antimatter equivalent of the hydrogen atom – a ...

Antihydrogen forms an ideal study subject for deciphering the secrets of fundamental physics due to it being the most simple anti-matter atom. However, keeping it from casually annihilating itself ...

Physicists working on the Antihydrogen Laser Physics Apparatus (ALPHA) experiment at CERN have trapped and accumulated 15,000 antihydrogen atoms in less than 7 h. This accumulation rate is more than ...

Getting to the heart of antimatter: an artist's concept showing a trapped antihydrogen atom being released after 1000 seconds. The new proposal allows for such trapped antimatter to be laser cooled ...

Physicists at CERN have found the value of the Lamb shift in antihydrogen closely agrees with the value in hydrogen This reaffirms a fundamental symmetry of nature Yet it can't tell us why we and the ...

How different are matter and antimatter? This is a question that gets at the heart of modern particle physics and early-universe cosmology. The objects of everyday experience are made of ordinary ...

Antihydrogen, a positron bound to an antiproton, is the simplest antiatom. Its counterpart—hydrogen—is one of the most precisely investigated and best understood systems in physics research.

Physicists working at the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) in Geneva, Switzerland, have succeeded in trapping antihydrogen – the antimatter equivalent of the hydrogen atom – a ...
