Normal matter – which makes up everything we see and touch – isn’t the only type of matter present in the universe.

Sometimes, looking inward, to the dynamic, glowing centre of our own galaxy, reveals the most unexpected hints of what lies beyond.
Measurements of 16 ‘antihyperhydrogen’ nuclei may help resolve mysteries of the universe’s exotic matter.
Some space rocks you can get for free – if you know how to identify them. Rarer materials cost more, and the asteroid sample NASA just brought back has a high price tag.
It seems there isn’t a sci-fi part if the universe in which everything is made of antimatter.
The way particles interacted while the universe was forming seconds after the Big Bang could explain why the universe exists the way it does – a physicist explains matter-antimatter asymmetry.
A decadelong experiment produced the most accurate measurement yet of the mass of W bosons. These particles are responsible for the weak force, and the result is more evidence for undiscovered physics.
Record precision measurements at Cern may help explain why the universe has more matter than antimatter.
Laser-cooling enables new measurements that could explain why antimatter is so scarce in our universe.
New physics may be needed to explain why there’s more matter than antimatter in the universe.
When scientists created the Higgs particle with protons, they needed the 10km-wide Large Hadron Collider. A muon machine could achieve it with a diameter of just 200 metres.
From the subatomic to the cosmic, don’t think for a second that we’re at the end of scientific history.
A new experiment at CERN has discovered a source of asymmetry between matter and antimatter that could help explain why we are here at all.
The Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE) could help unravel the mysteries of antimatter and complete scientists’ next model of the universe.
One of the great mysteries of the universe is why there is so much more matter than antimatter. Now a new experiment is helping us understand the nature of antimatter better than ever before.
New research has compared hydrogen and antihydrogen up to ten decimal places for the very first time.
The theory of antimemories could help explain many cognitive problems in the brain such as autism and schizophrenia.
Antimatter is at the heart of one of the biggest conundrums in physics. Here’s why.
The tiniest of particles could have huge potential to solve the greatest mysteries of the universe - including why there is more matter than antimatter.
An exotic plasma could help shed light on why the universe as we know it is made up of more matter than antimatter.
