(PhysOrg.com) -- Suppose at some point the universe ceases to expand, and instead begins collapsing in on itself (as in the “Big Crunch” scenario), and eventually becomes a supermassive black hole.

Why didn’t the universe annihilate itself moments after the big bang? A new finding at Cern on the French-Swiss border brings us closer to answering this fundamental question about why matter ...

Understanding why matter and antimatter behave differently is key to understanding why there is a universe at all. Now physicists have discovered the latest example of a subtle difference between the ...

According to our current understanding of the universe, equal amounts of matter and antimatter should have been produced in the Big Bang, then both annihilated. However, the universe is dominated by ...

Shock waves from tiny black holes in the early universe could explain how antimatter became so rare while matter is common.

Everything we see around us, from the ground beneath our feet to the most remote galaxies, is made of matter. For scientists, that has long posed a problem: According to physicists’ best current ...

The BASE experiment at CERN has figured out how to transport antimatter by truck, enabling scientists to study antimatter in greater detail without interference from CERN's giant magnets. Jesse Orrall ...
