High-powered lasers have transformed the way researchers explore extreme physical phenomena, pushing the boundaries of quantum physics and astrophysics. These lasers, when focused to nearly their ...

The truth is, antimatter is a little less exotic than ... Today, generating high-energy positron beams requires an RF accelerator — miles of track with powerful electromagnets, klystrons ...

Interstellar travel is only something humanity has achieved in science fiction — like Star Trek's USS Enterprise, which used ...

Antimatter — the mysterious substance that's the mirror opposite of matter in most ways — falls downward in gravity like everything else in the universe, a team of physicists reported ...

Antimatter can produce more energy than anything else we know of, but it’s very fickle. A new field analysis explains what we need in order to progress with antimatter propulsion. While an ...

which is essential for explaining the matter-antimatter asymmetry in the universe. Electron-Positron Collisions: Interactions between electrons and their antiparticles (positrons) that can produce ...

In the Big Bang, matter and antimatter should have been created in equal amounts. But fast forward 13.8 billion years to the present day, and the universe is made almost entirely of matter ...

The intense positron pulses will allow for new areas of research, including new types of experiments. This may include more efficient production of antihydrogen, tests of the fundamental symmetry ...

When these photons collide, they create a matter-antimatter pair: an electron (e-) and positron (e+). Disclaimer: AAAS and EurekAlert! are not responsible for the accuracy of news releases posted ...

Named Anello di Accumulazione (AdA), the experiment was the world's first collider of matter and antimatter ... an electron-positron collider 105 meters in diameter that would go on to operate ...
