Antiprotons could help fight against cancer

A pioneering experiment at CERN with potential for cancer therapy has produced its first results.

ASACUSA measures antiproton mass with record precision

The Japanese-European ASACUSA team at CERN has measured the antiproton-to-electron-mass ratio to record-breaking accuracy.

Setting the record straight

Walter Oelert, leader of the team that 10 years ago obtained the first antimatter atoms, talks to Tomasz Rozek about the fact and fiction surrounding the discovery.

Fifty years of antiprotons

It is 50 years since Emilio Segrè, Owen Chamberlain and their group first created an antiproton. Lynn Yarris describes their achievement at Berkeley's Bevatron in 1955.

Antiproton physics takes another big LEAP forward

The latest in the Low Energy Antiproton Physics series of conferences in Bonn showed that this field of research is increasingly vibrant and exciting, as Walter Oelert describes.

Slow antiprotons galore

A workshop in Japan in the spring looked at how to make and use beams of ultra-slow antiprotons over a wide range of physics.

AD stores record number of antiprotons

A new technique for cooling antiprotons has been tested at CERN's Antiproton Decelerator (AD), yielding 50 times more trapped antiprotons per cycle than ever before.
