If you want to explain what was and what is, you need particle physics. Because everything we see consists of molecules and atoms, and atoms in turn consist of atomic nuclei and electrons. The atomic ...

In the beginning of the universe, matter somehow outmaneuvered antimatter, creating the stuff-filled universe we know and love today. Scientists from two large long-baseline experiments in the U.S.

Dark matter, which makes up about 85 per cent of the universe’s total mass, has baffled scientists for years because it does not emit or absorb light. However, almost a century after the theory was ...
