Amplify’d from blogs.physicstoday.org Trapping antihydrogen By Physics Today on December 6, 2010 11:51 AM Are there any unexpected differences between matter and antimatter? The international ALPHA collaboration has taken an important step toward answering that question by constructing an apparatus at CERN that can confine freshly made atoms of antihydrogen, the bound state of an…
How big is a proton? The most accurate measurement yet suggests it’s smaller than we thought. This could be due to an error – or it might just hint at totally new particle physics. “The new experiment presents a puzzle with no obvious candidate for an explanation,” says Peter Mohr of the international Committee on…
“The proton seems to be 0.00000000000003 millimetres smaller than researchers previously thought, according to work published in today’s issue of Nature.” in Nature.com
