PERIODIC ANTI-TABLE. “Physical principles indicate that complex antimatter atomic nuclei are possible, as well as anti-atoms corresponding to the known chemical elements.” https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antimatter View in LinkedIn

SMALL STEP. “The nuclei of antihelium have been artificially produced, albeit with difficulty, and are the most complex anti-nuclei so far observed.” https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antimatter View in LinkedIn

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

ILLUSIVE STUFF. “No macroscopic amount of antimatter has ever been assembled due to the extreme cost and difficulty of production and handling.” https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antimatter View in LinkedIn

SOURCES OF ANTIMATTER. “Minuscule numbers of antiparticles are generated daily at particle accelerators—total production has been only a few nanograms—and in natural processes like cosmic ray collisions and some types of radioactive decay, but only a tiny fraction of these have successfully been bound together in experiments to form anti-atoms.” https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antimatter View in LinkedIn
