British theoretical physicist Paul Dirac was one of the most significant figures in the early days of quantum physics, who along with Erwin Schrödinger won the Nobel Prize for physics in 1933. But it ...

Seventy-five years ago, theoretical physicist Paul Dirac asserted that all basic building blocks of matter have mirror counterparts in nature, known as antimatter. When matter and antimatter collide, ...

Antimatter has intrigued and confounded physicists for almost a century, and the effect of gravity on antimatter has been a point of disagreement. New research may have settled the debate by finding ...

If antimatter didn’t exist, someone would have to make it up — it’s that juicy. Predicted by the brilliant physicist Paul Dirac in 1928 — and first found by Carl D. Anderson of Caltech in 1935 — ...

It’s around you, it’s a part of you, and scientists are still trying to figure it out. Antimatter: It’s the opposite of the matter we’re used to; it’s mysteriously elusive; and when it gets too close ...

Astronauts from the space shuttle Endeavour recently attached the Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer, or AMS, to the International Space Station. It will attempt to detect the presence of antimatter in outer ...
