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 ...

Capturing atoms in a magnetic trap requires precooling to millikelvin temperatures. Laser cooling, the dominant method for precooling, has been used for atoms with strong cycling transitions at ...

Now scientists from a different collaboration at CERN, known as ASACUSA, say their apparatus has created a beam of antihydrogen atoms that can be measured more precisely outside the magnetic trap ...

Capturing lightning in a bottle is the very definition of a tough task, but now physicists have found a way to contain ultracold plasma in a magnetic bottle trap, a breakthrough that could bring ...

Scientists have succesfully measured the direct influence of gravity on antimatter for the first time in history by dropping antihydrogen atoms from a magnetic trap, and observing as they ...
