Getting under the skin of atomic nuclei using antimatter
Researchers at the AEgIS experiment have piloted a new method to delve into the heart of atoms. This proof-of-principle study, recently reported in Physical Review Research, shows how antiprotons – the antimatter counterparts of protons – could be used to probe the outer edges of a wider range of atomic nuclei. And with CERN’s recent

AEgIS transforms smartphone sensors into an antimatter camera of unprecedented resolution
The AEgIS collaboration, led by a team from the Technical University of Munich, has repurposed smartphone camera sensors to create a detector capable of imaging antiproton annihilations in real time with unprecedented resolution
