A community portal about Antimatter with blogs, videos, and photos. According to Wikipedia.org: In particle physics, antimatter extends the concept of the antiparticle to matter, wherein if a particle and its antiparticle come into contact with each other, the two annihilate —that is, they may both be converted into other particles with equal energy in accordance with Einstein's equation E = mc 2. This gives rise to high-energy photons or other particle–antiparticle pairs. The resulting particles are endowed with an amount of kinetic energy equal to the difference between the rest mass of the products of the annihilation and the rest mass of the original particle-antiparticle pair, which is often quite large.
LIVERMORE, Calif., Nov. 18, 2008 -- More than 100 billion particles of antimatter have been created by using a short-pulse, ultraintense laser to irradiate a gold sample the size of the head of a push pin.

Say the word "antimatter" and immediately people think of science fiction – anti-universes, fuel for the Enterprise's warp-speed engines and so forth. But Captain, we...
In the early moments of the universe, matter and antimatter existed in near equal amounts, but we now live in a matter-dominated universe. New research attempts to find some of the leftover primordial antimatter.

RIKEN scientists have developed a method for trapping and manipulating antimatter that could be key to solving one of the universe?s biggest mysteries.
Anyone who has read Dan Brown's "Angels & Demons" knows that a missing canister of antimatter is one of the most important elements of the entire story. So it's fitting that Sony has quietly launched a bit of viral marketing for Angels & Demons that involves just that. Thanks to the guys over at...
Everything in our universe is made of matter, but a century of physics has revealed that at the beginning of time, an exactly equal amount of antimatter existed. Then, two seconds after the Big Bang, something changed and suddenly there was more matter than antimatter. What we don't know...
Researchers use carbon nanotubes for fiber optics, silver snowflakes for invisibility, and look for signs that humanity has triggered a new geological era.
Antimatter's great attraction from a propulsion standpoint is the ability to convert 100 percent of its mass into energy, a reaction impossible with fission or fusion methods.
Astronomers have probed the collision of two large clusters of galaxies, using NASAs Chandra X-ray Observatory and Compton Gamma Ray Observatory, to search for evidence of primordial antimatter.
