Efforts to study antimatter have progressed with new precision measurements conducted by an international team of researchers at CERN. The ALPHA experiment has been focused on antihydrogen, the antimatter counterpart of hydrogen, to understand its fundamental properties. The latest findings have allowed scientists to measure an electronic transition in antihydrogen with increased accuracy, which could help determine whether antimatter behaves in accordance with established physics principles. These results mark a significant step in comparing antihydrogen to hydrogen, which has been extensively studied.Findings from the ALPHA ExperimentAccording to a study published in Nature Physics, the ALPHA collaboration has measured the 1S–2S…

A potential record-breaking exoplanet system has been identified, moving at a speed of at least 1.2 million miles per hour (540 kilometers per second). The discovery suggests a low-mass star is traveling through the Milky Way with a planet in orbit, marking a significant find in the study of high-velocity celestial bodies. If confirmed, this would be the first instance of a planet orbiting a hypervelocity star, nearly doubling the speed at which the solar system moves through the galaxy.Microlensing Data Reveals a High-Velocity StarAccording to a study published in The Astronomical Journal, the system was detected through microlensing observations.…
