ATOMIC ASSEMBLY. “Antimatter particles bind with each other to form antimatter, just as ordinary particles bind to form normal matter. For example, a positron (the antiparticle of the electron) and an antiproton (the antiparticle of the proton) can form an antihydrogen atom.” https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antimatter View in LinkedIn

ANNIHILATION. “If surrounding matter is present, the energy content of this radiation will be absorbed and converted into other forms of energy, such as heat or light. The amount of energy released is usually proportional to the total mass of the collided matter and antimatter, in accordance with the notable mass–energy equivalence equation, E=mc2.” https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antimatter View in LinkedIn

ANNIHILATION. “A collision between any particle and its anti-particle partner leads to their mutual annihilation, giving rise to various proportions of intense photons (gamma rays), neutrinos, and sometimes less-massive particle–antiparticle pairs. The majority of the total energy of annihilation emerges in the form of ionizing radiation.” https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antimatter View in LinkedIn

SIMILAR BUT DISTINCT. “Theoretically, a particle and its anti-particle (for example, a proton and an antiproton) have the same mass, but opposite electric charge, and other differences in quantum numbers. For example, a proton has positive charge while an antiproton has negative charge.” https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antimatter View in LinkedIn

ANTIMATTER STARS. “It also implies that, for example, a star made up of antimatter (an "antistar") will shine just like an ordinary star.” https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antimatter View in LinkedIn

NOT DIFFERENT. “This means a particle and its corresponding antiparticle must have identical masses and decay lifetimes (if unstable).” https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antimatter View in LinkedIn

IDENTICAL BUT OPPOSITE. “There are compelling theoretical reasons to believe that, aside from the fact that antiparticles have different signs on all charges (such as electric and baryon charges), matter and antimatter have exactly the same properties.” https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antimatter View in LinkedIn

ONE PPB. “In October 2017, scientists working on the BASE experiment at CERN reported a measurement of the antiproton magnetic moment to a precision of 1.5 parts per billion. This measurement represents the first time that a property of antimatter is known more precisely than the equivalent property in matter.” https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antimatter View in LinkedIn
