(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.

13.8 billion years ago, at the moment of the Big Bang, the Universe was the hottest it's ever been in history. Every single known particle exists in great abundance, along with equal amounts of their ...

Physicists have proved that a subatomic particle can switch into its antiparticle alter-ego and back again, in a new discovery revealed today. The extraordinarily precise measurement was made by UK ...

Majorana fermion is named after Ettore Majorana, the man who, in 1937, had the brilliant idea that somewhere in the fermion family are particles that are also their own antiparticles. Majorana's ...

The mysterious particle could hold the key to why matter won out over antimatter in the early universe. Almost every particle has an antimatter counterpart: a particle with the same mass but opposite ...

The smallest pieces of the universe are governed by a beautiful and mind-blowing set of rules: the “Standard Model.” The Standard Model explains the behavior of all 17 discovered particles, and it ...

Physicists at Princeton University have found something that people have spent decades searching for: a particle that is its own antiparticle. It's even cooler than it sounds. The physicists found a ...

The European Physical Society has declared the construction site of the Anello di Accumulazione collider in Frascati, Italy, a significant site in physics history. Measuring roughly 4 feet in diameter ...

Antimatter was one of the most exciting physics discoveries of the 20th century. Picked up by fiction writers such as Dan Brown, many people think of it as an “out there” theoretical idea – unaware ...
