Scientists estimate that all observable matter in the universe—everything from goats to galaxies—makes up just five percent of our universe's mass energy. The rest is dark matter and antimatter.

The Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer, also designated AMS-02, is a particle physics experiment module that is to be mounted on the International Space Station. It is designed to search for various types of ...

The Space Shuttle Endeavour is delivering an Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer to the International Space Station. What does it do, exactly? You might think you learned in high school that the universe is ...

The high-profile Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer particle physics experiment to be mounted on the International Space Station will be outfitted with a magnet flown in 1998 on the STS-91 prototype AMS.
