Astronomers are finding new exoplanets almost every day, but due to the incredible distances between star systems, space exploration has been limited to our solar system. For example, it is estimated ...

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

Antimatter is notoriously tricky to store and study, thanks to the fact that it will vanish in a burst of energy if it so much as touches regular matter. The CERN lab is one of the only places in the ...

Dr. Steven Howe identified an antimatter niche for the acceleration of small unmanned interstellar probes. Small amounts of antimatter can be used to initiate fission events whose daughters provided ...

Chemical rockets have taken us to the moon and back, but traveling to the stars demands something more powerful. Space X's Starship can lift extraordinary masses to orbit and send payloads throughout ...

Up until now, the prospect of anti-gravity technology has been strictly confined to science fiction stories and films alike. However, CERN physicists are set to begin an experiment that may well ...

Antimatter is a tricky substance to study, not least because it will annihilate any container you try to put it in. But now, physicists at CERN have developed a new antimatter trap that can cool down ...

Researchers at CERN have used lasers to slow down antimatter atoms for the first time. One of the biggest mysteries of modern physics is the question of why we don’t see as much antimatter in the ...

The first particles in the universe formed when a hot, dense blob exploded. Physicists think that under the extreme conditions of the Big Bang, light transformed into matter: the electrons, protons, ...

Angry Astronaut made a video based off of my (and Centauri Dreams) Avatar’s Antimatter rocket which is based off an actual scientifically sound design. The Second Avatar movie passed $2 billion in box ...
