antimatter research groups

Antimatter research groups study antimatter, the counterpart to ordinary matter that makes up everything around us. When a particle of matter meets its matching antiparticle, they annihilate each other, releasing energy. These groups aim to understand fundamental physics, investigate the universe's origins, and explore potential applications, such as advanced propulsion for space travel. Researchers create and manipulate tiny amounts of antimatter in labs, using powerful particle accelerators and sophisticated detectors. Their work can reveal insights into the laws of nature and address questions like why our universe is dominated by matter.
