CERN finds Big Bang matter in small collisions

CERN's Large Hadron Collider has found that even relatively small atomic collisions can create quark-gluon plasma, a state of matter that filled the universe just after the Big Bang. This exotic substance forms at temperatures over 100,000 times hotter than the Sun's core, breaking ordinary particles into their fundamental building blocks. The discovery suggests that the conditions for r…

Physicists propose one-positron cyclotron to test antimatter symmetry

A new experimental concept called a one-positron cyclotron could put a central Standard Model prediction under direct scrutiny. Positrons, the antimatter twins of electrons, share the same mass but carry an opposite charge, and they also act like miniature bar magnets. The Standard Model predicts that a positron's magnetic moment should be exactly equal and opposite to that of an electron. Th…
