The best way to understand the fabric of space and time might just involve a fifth state of matter and falling for a really long time...

CERN wants to investigate how antimatter falls by creating and dropping anti-hydrogen atoms, adding to our understanding of particle physics and its applications.
# science
Particle physicists have been stuck confirming the same patterns of particle creation and decay. Now, they coud have a chance to study something brand new.

When you're trying to start carbon-based life, not just any carbon isotope will do and the one you need wouldn't even exist without a quirk of quantum mechanics.

Unfortunately, the Higgs particle doesn't explain the origins of dark matter, sending cosmologists looking for new particles to help fill in the blanks.
# science
Particle physicists managed to confirm virtually everything about the Standard Model. Now they're stuck with very little wiggle room to explain some of the universe's oddest mysteries.

It turns out that one of the best ways to learn about dark matter is to turn out the lights, lean back, and closely watch a little gravitational galaxy on galaxy action.

Alcohol isn't just the cause of and answer to most of life's problems, it also tells us something fundamental about the nature of all matter.

The existence of the Higgs boson has been confirmed and the Standard Model is upheld yet again. Now what?

Can we improve the throughput of a wi-fi signal with neutrinos instead of radio signals? A team of researchers thinks so.
