Antimatter Experiment

Antimatter experiments involve creating and studying particles with properties opposite to normal matter particles, such as electrons with a positive charge (positrons). Researchers at facilities like CERN produce antimatter in particle accelerators and observe how it behaves, interacts, and annihilates upon contact with matter, releasing energy. These studies help scientists understand fundamental physics, the imbalance between matter and antimatter in the universe, and potential future applications like medical imaging or space propulsion. Although antimatter is rare and costly to produce, such experiments advance our knowledge of the universe’s most basic building blocks.
