The universe's matter-antimatter asymmetry, where matter significantly outweighs antimatter despite their theoretically equal creation at the Big Bang, remains a major unsolved problem in physics.

A new particle has been discovered at Fermilab's Tevatron collider, and researchers say it's exhibiting unusual properties. Unlike normal particles, this one exotic particle contains four 'flavours' ...

Scientists have successfully developed a pocket-sized particle accelerator capable of projecting ultra-short electron beams with laser light at more than 99.99% of the speed of light. To achieve this ...

Spinning supermassive black holes often shoot out jets of plasma from their poles. When the magnetic fields in these jets get twisted and tangled, they generate an electric field capable of ...
