In the early stages of the hot Big Bang, matter and antimatter were (almost) balanced. After a brief while, matter won out. Here's how.

Einstein's most famous equation is E = mc², which describes the rest mass energy inherent to particles. But motion matters for energy, too.
If nature were perfectly deterministic, atoms would almost instantly all collapse. Here's how Heisenberg uncertainty saves the atom.
The AI is helping Twitter users plot movies, design meal plans, and more.
For the first time in nearly 1500 years, fewer than half the people in England and Wales consider themselves Christian.
Without wormholes, warp drive, or some type of new matter, energy, or physics, everyone is limited by the speed of light. Or are they?
Salk scientists studied complex decision-making capabilities in a worm with just 302 neurons and a mouth full of teeth. It's smarter than you would think.
If it weren't for the intricate rules of quantum physics, we wouldn't have formed neutral atoms "only" ~380,000 years after the Big Bang.
You can only create or destroy matter by creating or destroying equal amounts of antimatter. So how did we become a matter-rich Universe?
The combination of charge conjugation, parity, and time-reversal symmetry is known as CPT. And it must never be broken. Ever.
Whether you run the clock forward or backward, most of us expect the laws of physics to be the same. A 2012 experiment showed otherwise.
Rich is brilliant at his job. He completes work in half the time of his coworkers. Should he have to sit at his desk just as long?
A great many cosmic puzzles still remain unsolved. By embracing a broad and varied approach, particle physics heads toward a bright future.
More than any other of Einstein's equations, E = mc² is the most recognizable to people. But what does it all mean?
Lord Kelvin is thought to have said there was nothing new to discover in physics. His real view was the opposite.
Resilience training can be instrumental in helping employees recover from difficulties and embrace change in the workplace.
Could a theory from the science of perception help crack the mysteries of psychosis?
What would it take to create a truly intelligent microbot, one that can operate independently?
The Poisson distribution has everyday applications in science, finance, and insurance. To compare the results of some biomedical studies, more people ought to be familiar with it.
Cotton mask fibers prove 33 percent more effective at blocking viruses in trials.
Photons come in every wavelength you can imagine. But one particular quantum transition makes light at precisely 21 cm, and it's magical.
First derived by Emmy Noether, for every symmetry a theory possesses, there's an associated conserved quantity. Here's the profound link.
The truth may be out there — but it’s not in these close encounters of the third kind.
Seneca thought the use of ice was a "true fever of the most malignant kind."
The conservation of energy is one of the most fundamental laws governing our reality. But in the expanding Universe, that's just not true.
The laws of physics state that you can't create or destroy matter without also creating or destroying an equal amount of antimatter. So how are we here?
Finding out how the Universe grew up was the biggest science goal of JWST. This ultra-early proto-galaxy cluster is one amazing discovery.
The majority of the matter in our Universe isn't made of any of the particles in the Standard Model. Could the axion save the day?
In the early stages of the hot Big Bang, there were only free protons and neutrons: no atomic nuclei. How did the first elements form from them?
Memories aren’t mental recordings, but pliable information we can use to better manage the present and conjure future possibilities.
