Heaviest Clumps of Antimatter Ever Created in Particle Collider

An illustration of the newly discovered antimatter nucleus, antihyperhydrogen-4Institute of Modern Physics, China Physicists have achieved a significant milestone by producing the heaviest antimatter clumps ever recorded. These clumps, known as antihyperhydrogen-4, could provide insights into some of physics' most complex questions. Understanding Antimatter Antimatter consists of particles with the same mass as regular matter but...

Astronauts Frequently Get Stuck in Space

Credit: NASA What began as a weeklong mission for U.S. astronauts Sunita Williams and Butch Wilmore has stretched into a months-long stay on the International Space Station (ISS). Their eight-day mission, which started on June 5, has already lasted over two months and may continue even longer. Delayed Return Due to Spacecraft Issues Williams and Wilmore launched...

Priced at US$4 million, this timeless creation is crafted with meticulous precision akin to...

Diamonds Produced at Standard Pressure in Only 15 Minutes

Scientists in South Korea have developed a new way to grow diamonds in the lab in minutes, under normal pressure levelsDepositphotos Diamonds are typically formed under extreme pressure and temperature, contributing to their high value. However, scientists have now succeeded in creating diamonds in a lab at normal pressure in just 15 minutes. Under extreme pressure...

Scientists Discover Gigantic Planet with a Texture Resembling Cotton Candy

Located 1,232 light-years away, WASP-193b is an exoplanet nearly 50 percent larger than Jupiter. Surprisingly, its density is comparable to that of cotton candy, being just over 1 percent of Earth's density. Described as an "absolute dandelion puff-ball of a world," it's one of the most peculiar discoveries in the galaxy.

Could Life Have Survived Without Earth’s Magnetic Field Collapse?
