STORING ANTIMATTER. “Antimatter cannot be stored in a container made of ordinary matter because antimatter reacts with any matter it touches, annihilating itself and an equal amount of the container. Antimatter in the form of charged particles can be contained by a combination of electric and magnetic fields, in a device called a Penning trap.” https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antimatter View in LinkedIn

HIGH GRADE FUEL. “Isolated and stored anti-matter could be used as a fuel for interplanetary or interstellar travel as part of an antimatter-catalyzed nuclear pulse propulsion or another antimatter rocket. Since the energy density of antimatter is higher than that of conventional fuels, an antimatter-fueled spacecraft would have a higher thrust-to-weight ratio than a conventional spacecraft.” https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antimatter View in LinkedIn

COSMIC HARVESTING. “Several studies funded by the NASA Institute for Advanced Concepts are exploring whether it might be possible to use magnetic scoops to collect the antimatter that occurs naturally in the Van Allen belt of the Earth, and ultimately, the belts of gas giants, like Jupiter, hopefully at a lower cost per gram.” https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antimatter View in LinkedIn

MORE PRECIOUS THAN GOLD. “Scientists claim that antimatter is the costliest material to make. In 2006, Gerald Smith estimated $250 million could produce 10 milligrams of positrons (equivalent to $25 billion per gram); in 1999, NASA gave a figure of $62.5 trillion per gram of antihydrogen.” https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antimatter View in LinkedIn

FIFTH MILESTONE. “In 2011, CERN scientists were able to preserve antihydrogen for approximately 17 minutes. The record for storing antiparticles is currently held by the TRAP experiment at CERN: antiprotons were kept in a Penning trap for 405 days.” https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antimatter View in LinkedIn

CARTOON PICTURE. “Since the above simple-minded interpretation of quantum fields in terms of creation and annihilation operators is meaningful only for free fields without interactions, the validity of this vocabulary is at most for the asymptotic fields and states which describe quantum fields approximately only in the remote past or future regimes, respectively, before or after the actual scattering processes.” https://lnkd.in/dpsM58Ep View in LinkedIn
