Scientists from the US and Japan have combined data from large-scale experiments to study neutrinos, elusive particles that might explain why matter exists over antimatter in the universe. While the study doesn't definitively solve the mystery, it demonstrates the power of international collaboration in advancing particle physics research.
Scientists at the University of Colorado have achieved the most precise measurement to date of an electron's electric dipole moment (EDM), which indicates a breaking of symmetry and could help explain the imbalance of matter and antimatter in the universe. The measurement, conducted using an intricate experimental setup, set an upper bound for the EDM that is 2.4 times higher than previous measurements and around 1 billion times larger than predicted by the Standard Model of particle physics. Understanding the electron's EDM at a precise level is crucial in the search for undiscovered particles that violate charge-parity symmetry and could provide insights into the predominance of matter over antimatter.
