The BASE experiment has reduced the time to cool antiprotons from 15 hours to eight minutes.
In demonstrating laser cooling of a purely leptonic matter-antimatter system, the AEgIS collaboration opens new possibilities for antimatter research.
The first direct experiment to observe a gravitational effect on the motion of antimatter opens a new avenue of experimental exploration.
The GBAR experiment at CERN has joined the select club of experiments that have succeeded in synthesising antihydrogen atoms.
New results from the ALICE collaboration that probe the Milky Way's transparency to antimatter serve as an important guide for dark-matter searches.
The charge-to-mass ratios of protons and antiprotons are identical within an uncertainty of 16 parts per trillion, placing strong constraints on possible violations of CPT symmetry.
Beatriz Gato-Rivera's Antimatter: What It Is and Why It's Important in Physics and Everyday Life is comprehensive and well structured, writes Wolfgang Lerche.
As reported today in Nature, the technique promises to reduce the time needed to cool antiprotons from hours to seconds.
Laser-cooling opens the door to considerably more precise measurements of antihydrogen’s internal structure and gravitational interactions.
Precise knowledge of the moment anti-atoms are produced will allow new tests of the weak equivalence principle.
