💥Antimatter is the opposite of matter, with the same mass but different charge.
🔥When matter and antimatter interact, they annihilate each other and produce energy.
🌌Antimatter is rare in the universe, but it has important applications in medical imaging.
🧲The matter-antimatter asymmetry problem explores why the universe is predominantly made up of matter and not antimatter.
🔬Studying antimatter requires new physics and experiments in particle physics labs are ongoing.
What is antimatter?
—Antimatter is the opposite of matter, with the same mass but different charge.
What happens when matter and antimatter interact?
—When matter and antimatter interact, they annihilate each other and release energy.
Why is antimatter rare in the universe?
—Antimatter is rare in the universe because it is created in very rare nuclear reactions that produce small amounts of it.
What is the matter-antimatter asymmetry problem?
—The matter-antimatter asymmetry problem explores why the universe is predominantly made up of matter and not antimatter.
What is being done to study antimatter?
—Experiments in particle physics labs, such as CERN, are ongoing to study antimatter and understand its properties.
