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 ...

Chemical rockets have taken us to the moon and back, but traveling to the stars demands something more powerful. Space X's ...

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 ...

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 ...

The Universe should not exist. At least, not according to simple physics. After the Big Bang, equal parts matter and ...

Scientists at CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research, have used laser on trapped anti-atoms to see how the behavior of antimatter differs from that of regular matter. Antimatter is the ...

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, ...

Why is Christian Science in our name? Our name is about honesty. The Monitor is owned by The First Church of Christ, Scientist, and we’ve always been transparent about that. The church publishes the ...
