Jul 25th, 2024 - Antimatter particles detected on the International Space Station (ISS) may be evidence for unknown physics, new research suggests. The particles, antimatter versions of helium nuclei, may have been produced by cosmic fireballs, — and physicists can't explain how those fireballs formed using the Standard Model , the theory which describes the zoo of subatomic particles. All elementary particles have corresponding antiparticles with opposite electric charges, which annihilate each other on ... [Read More]
