Physicists on Monday announced an important step towards unravelling one of the Universe's great mysteries: What happened to all the anti-matter created in the Big Bang?
A new technique has allowed them to study the behaviour of a single atom of anti-matter under ultraviolet light, a team wrote in the journal Nature.

Hopes for a new particle discovery that might have up-ended the standard model of physics were dashed on Friday, as scientists admitted that a "bump" in the data was actually just a "blip."
A great deal of excitement was generated by the December 2015 announcement that a fluctuation in the data had been found independently by two groups of scientistsRead more
The world's most powerful proton smasher is preparing for its biggest run yet which scientists hope will uncover new particles that could dramatically change our understanding of the Universe.
"We are exploring truly fundamental issues, and that's why this run is so exciting," physicist Paris Sphicas told AFP at Europe's physics lab, CERN, last week.
"Who knows what we willRead more
