We have learned in physics that matter and antimatter were created in almost equal portions during Big Bang. However, scientists have always been puzzled how come there’s almost only matter left today?  Now, a team of researchers has developed a new type of accelerator, based on particles called muons, that could help us to figure this out. An international team of researchers known as the Muon Ionisation Cooling Experiment (MICE) used a process known as cooling to help compress the beam. The study could also shed light on how life-essential elements such as oxygen, carbon, and silicon, which are formed in stars, scattered across the universe.
