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.
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.
For the first time in nearly 1500 years, fewer than half the people in England and Wales consider themselves Christian.
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.
The combination of charge conjugation, parity, and time-reversal symmetry is known as CPT. And it must never be broken. Ever.
Could a theory from the science of perception help crack the mysteries of psychosis?
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.
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?
All matter particles can act as waves, and massless light waves show particle-like behavior. Can gravitational waves also be particle-like?
The conservation of energy is one of the most fundamental laws governing our reality. But in the expanding Universe, that’s just not true.
Photons come in every wavelength you can imagine. But one particular quantum transition makes light at precisely 21 cm, and it’s magical.
Finding out how the Universe grew up was the biggest science goal of JWST. This ultra-early proto-galaxy cluster is one amazing discovery.
A recently identified stage of sleep common to narcoleptics is a fertile source of creativity.
From up close, the cracking sound of a thunderclap dominates. From far away, it’s more like a drawn-out rumble. Can science explain why?
Seneca thought the use of ice was a “true fever of the most malignant kind.”
More than any other of Einstein’s equations, E = mc² is the most recognizable to people. But what does it all mean?
Resilience training can be instrumental in helping employees recover from difficulties and embrace change in the workplace.
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.
When someone attempts to make you afraid of something that hasn’t happened instead of a true, present danger, suspect this nefarious ploy.
Here are the signs that you inherited “money anxiety” from your parents.
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?
From the present day all the way to less than 400 million years after the Big Bang, we’re seeing how the Universe grew up like never before.
“It doesn’t erase what happened to you. It just changes the impact it has on your life.”
Like sneaking veggies into dessert, these board games teach STEM, strategy, and executive functions through the joys of play.
Are quantum fields real, or are they simply calculational tools? These 3 experiments show that if energy is real, so are quantum fields.
For 550 million years, neutral atoms blocked the light made in stars from traveling freely through the Universe. Here’s how it then changed.
