Matter and antimatter mirror each other in all respects but electric charge; physicists are excited by small differences in their behaviors. Recently, observations at the world's largest particle collider revealed a new class of antimatter particles breaking down differently than matter counterparts. This discovery contributes to the quest to understand why our universe consists of matter as opposed to an equal balance with antimatter, a situation suggested by early universe theories.

The search for axions remains crucial in the ongoing quest to understand dark matter, though no direct evidence for these particles has yet been found.

The radio waves that we detected were at really steep angles, like 30 degrees below the surface of the ice. They defy the current understanding of particle physics.

Recent precision measurements on antiprotonic systems have advanced our understanding of fundamental symmetries in particle physics and tested the limits of the Standard Model.

Axion quasiparticles are simulations of axion particles, which can be further used as a detector of actual particles. If a dark matter axion hits our material, it excites the quasiparticle, and, by detecting this reaction, we can confirm the presence of the dark matter axion.

The Karlsruhe Tritium Neutrino (KATRIN) experiment has measured the upper limit of the neutrino's mass to 0.45 electron volts, advancing our understanding of this elusive particle.

The NA62 experiment at CERN has observed a rare decay of kaons, suggesting it might happen more frequently than the predicted one in 10 billion, hinting at new physics.
