🚚 CERN researchers transport antimatter by truck for the first time
CERN has developed a portable container that can transport antimatter by truck between laboratories. The test showed that protons could be transported 4 kilometers without a single particle disappearing during transport.
🦋 Scientists observe 'Hofstadter's butterfly' for the first time
Scientists have measured the energy levels of electrons in a new quantum material and discovered that they follow a fractal pattern, known as "Hofstadter's butterfly." It has been theoretically predicted since 1976 but has now been directly observed for the first time in a real material.
🌌 Scientists make key discovery about antimatter
Scientists confirm antimatter's response to gravity. This is a key discovery that may unlock the reason why the universe is matter-dominated.
😲 A new force of nature? Yep, Fermilab scientists think so
If a fifth force is confirmed, it could be one of the most significant scientific breakthroughs in a century, since Einstein's relativity theories.
