A top physicist is ‘confident’ Chinese scientists can build the world’s largest collider, as debate of the project continues.

Eliezer Rabinovici, the president of the European Organisation for Nuclear Research (CERN) and professor emeritus of physics ...

"The capture and annihilation of dark matter in neutron stars would provide a source of heating that stops the star from ...

Experiments at particle colliders like CERN have produced, trapped, and studied antiparticles, confirming that their ...

Black holes, those enigmatic and powerful cosmic entities, have captured the imagination of scientists and laypeople alike ...

There is a whole menagerie of such particles, formed of combinations of six types, or “flavours” of quarks – up, down, strange, charm, bottom and top – plus their equivalent antiparticles.

Neither, of course, are the most famous spin-½ particles — electrons and protons, which are electrically charged — their own antiparticles. So it is not obvious that we need an equation to ...

then one might expect equal amounts of matter and antimatter to result from a synthesis which employs equal numbers of elementary particles and antiparticles (probably electrons, positrons ...

These particles are unusual in that they are their own antiparticles, and in the early 2000s, the theoretical physicist Alexei Kitaev predicted that they could exist in the form of quasiparticles made ...

The book discusses quarks and leptons, antiparticles and Feynman diagrams, curved space-time, the Big Bang and the expanding Universe. Suitable for undergraduate students in non-science as well as ...
