In context: Antimatter is a substance composed of antiparticles with an opposite electric charge compared to the corresponding particles in "ordinary" matter. Despite its opposite nature, antimatter ...

Physicists at CERN have discovered that antimatter falls down. Sure, it sounds like an obvious thing, but scientists haven’t yet been able to confirm that it responds to gravity in exactly the same ...

The secret to directly detecting dark matter might be blowin’ in the wind. The mysterious substance continues to elude scientists even though it outweighs visible matter in the universe by about 8 to ...

GALVESTON, Texas — When the Apollo 11 crew got back from the moon 40 years ago this week, they showed no ill effects from seven days spent in weightlessness. But as American astronauts and Soviet ...

Leonardo da Vinci's centuries-old sketches reveal he may have understood key aspects of gravity long before Galileo, Newton and Einstein. A recent study from the California Institute of Technology ...
