ATRAP catches speed of antihydrogen
This is an important step towards the goal of producing antihydrogen atoms cold enough – that is, slow enough – for precision spectroscopy.

ASACUSA enters a new world of precision
The antiproton may soon be better known than the proton, and an ion that is more hydrogen-like than hydrogen may become the subject of high-precision laser spectroscopy experiments. John Eades describ...

ASACUSA probes the astrophysical ‘ice age’
Given the apparent absence of antimatter at the cosmic scale, it might seem strange that a recent paper from the ASACUSA collaboration on quantum tunneling effects in collisions between antiprotonic h...
