Scientists have discovered that Earth’s inner core may not be fully solid. A rare “superionic” state of matter could explain ...

The universe's matter-antimatter asymmetry, where matter significantly outweighs antimatter despite their theoretically equal creation at the Big Bang, remains a major unsolved problem in physics.

Decades after it became clear that the visible Universe is built on a framework of dark matter, we still don’t know what dark matter actually is. On large scales, a variety of evidence points toward ...

A simple explanation of dark matter and antimatter, how they differ, how scientists study them, and why both are important to understanding the universe.
