Antimatter
Antimatter explores a strange mirror world, where particles have identical yet opposite properties to those that make up the familiar matter we encounter everyday; where left becomes right, positive becomes negative; and where, should matter and antimatter meet, the two annihilate in a blinding flash of energy that makes even thermonuclear explosions look feeble by comparison.It is an idea long beloved of science-fiction stories--but here, renowned science writer Frank Close shows that the reality of antimatter is even more fascinating than the fiction itself.We know that once, antimatter and matter existed in perfect counterbalance, and that antimatter then perpetrated a vanishing act on a cosmic scale that remains one of the greatest mysteries of the universe.Today, antimatter does not exist normally, at least on Earth, but we know that it is real for scientists are now able to make small pieces of it in particle accelerators, such as that at CERN in Geneva.Looking at the remarkable prediction of antimatter and how it grew from the meeting point of relativity and quantum theory in the early 20th century, at the discovery of the first antiparticles, at cosmic rays, annihilation, antimatter bombs, and antiworlds, Close separates the facts from the fiction about antimatter, and explains how its existence can give us profound clues about the origins and structure of the universe. Oxford Landmark Science books are 'must-read' classics of modern science writing which have crystallized big ideas, and shaped the way we think.

Antimatter Blues : A Mickey7 Novel
The thrilling follow-up to Mickey7, soon to be a major motion picture by Academy Award-winning director Bong Joon-Ho. Summer has come to Niflheim. The lichens are growing, the six-winged bat-things are chirping, and much to his own surprise, Mickey Barnes is still alive—that last part thanks almost entirely to the fact that Commander Marshall believes that the colony’s creeper neighbors are holding an antimatter bomb, and that Mickey is the only one who’s keeping them from using it.Mickey’s just another colonist now. Instead of cleaning out the reactor core, he spends his time these days cleaning out the rabbit hutches.It’s not a bad life. It’s not going to last. It may be sunny now, but winter is coming. The antimatter that fuels the colony is running low, and Marshall wants his bomb back.If Mickey agrees to retrieve it, he’ll be giving up the only thing that’s kept his head off of the chopping block.If he refuses, he might doom the entire colony. Meanwhile, the creepers have their own worries, and they’re not going to surrender the bomb without getting something in return.Once again, Mickey finds the fate of two species resting in his hands.If something goes wrong this time, though, he won’t be coming back.

-
Is antimatter possible?
Yes, antimatter is possible and has been observed in experiments. Antimatter particles have the same mass as their corresponding matter particles but opposite charge. When matter and antimatter particles come into contact, they annihilate each other, releasing a large amount of energy in the form of gamma rays. Antimatter is currently being studied for its potential applications in areas such as medical imaging and propulsion systems.
-
What is antimatter?
Antimatter is composed of antiparticles, which are the counterparts to the particles that make up ordinary matter. When a particle and its corresponding antiparticle come into contact, they annihilate each other, releasing a large amount of energy in the form of gamma rays. Antimatter is extremely rare in the universe and is typically only created in high-energy environments, such as during particle collisions in accelerators or in certain astrophysical events. The study of antimatter is important in understanding the fundamental forces and particles that make up the universe.
-
Has antimatter been proven?
Yes, antimatter has been proven to exist through various experiments and observations in particle physics. For example, antimatter particles such as positrons (the antiparticle of electrons) have been created and studied in laboratory experiments. Additionally, antimatter has been observed in cosmic rays and in high-energy particle collisions. The existence of antimatter is a well-established scientific fact, although it is still a subject of ongoing research and exploration.
-
Can antimatter be produced?
Yes, antimatter can be produced through several methods. One common method is through the collision of high-energy particles, such as protons, in particle accelerators. When these particles collide, they can produce both matter and antimatter particles. Another method is through the decay of certain radioactive elements, which can also produce antimatter particles. While antimatter is rare in the universe, it can be produced in small quantities in laboratory settings.

Out There : A Scientific Guide to Alien Life, Antimatter, and Human Space Travel (For the Cosmically Curious)
We've all asked ourselves the question. It's impossible to look up at the stars and NOT think about it: Are we alone in the universe?Books, movies and television shows proliferate that attempt to answer this question and explore it. In OUT THERE Space.com senior writer Dr. Michael Wall treats that question as merely the beginning, touching off a wild ride of exploration into the final frontier.He considers, for instance, the myriad of questions that would arise once we do discover life beyond Earth (an eventuality which, top NASA officials told Wall, is only drawing closer). What would the first aliens we meet look like? Would they be little green men or mere microbes? Would they be found on a planet in our own solar system or orbiting a star far, far away? Would they intend to harm us, and if so, how might they do it? And might they already have visited?OUT THERE is arranged in a simple question-and-answer format. The answers are delivered in Dr. Wall's informal but informative style, which mixes in a healthy dose of humor and pop culture to make big ideas easier to swallow.Dr. Wall covers questions far beyond alien life, venturing into astronomy, physics, and the practical realities of what long-term life might be like for we mere humans in outer space, such as the idea of lunar colonies, and even economic implications. Readers won't just be hearing from Dr. Wall. As a longtime science journalist--whose work at Space.com is syndicated in outlets from Scientific American to Fox News--he has assembled an impressive array of contacts to provide expert commentary. From a former NASA chief scientist to leading science educators like Neil DeGrasse Tyson and Bill Nye to would-be space traveler Elon Musk, Dr. Wall shares the insights of some of the leading lights in space exploration today, and shows how the next space age might be brighter than ever.

What is matter and antimatter?
Matter is anything that has mass and takes up space, such as atoms and molecules. It is composed of particles like protons, neutrons, and electrons. Antimatter is the opposite of matter, consisting of particles with the same mass but opposite charge. When matter and antimatter come into contact, they annihilate each other, releasing a large amount of energy in the form of gamma rays. Antimatter is rare in the universe, but it is studied in particle physics for its potential applications in energy production and medical imaging.
-
How can antimatter be stored?
Antimatter can be stored using magnetic fields to contain it in a vacuum chamber. This prevents the antimatter from coming into contact with normal matter, which would result in annihilation. The magnetic fields keep the antimatter suspended and isolated, allowing it to be stored for a period of time. Specialized equipment and facilities are required to safely store antimatter due to its highly reactive nature.
-
What is an antimatter bomb?
An antimatter bomb is a theoretical weapon that would use antimatter as its explosive energy source. Antimatter is the opposite of normal matter, with particles that have the same mass but opposite charge. When antimatter comes into contact with normal matter, they annihilate each other, releasing a tremendous amount of energy. Theoretically, an antimatter bomb could be many times more powerful than a nuclear bomb of the same size. However, the practical challenges of producing and containing antimatter make the creation of such a weapon currently beyond our technological capabilities.
-
Where did the antimatter go?
Antimatter is believed to have been created in equal amounts to matter during the Big Bang, but today it is extremely rare in the universe. It is thought that most of the antimatter annihilated with matter shortly after the Big Bang, leaving behind only a small amount of residual antimatter. Some antimatter may still exist in distant regions of the universe, but it is difficult to detect and study due to its scarcity. Scientists continue to search for antimatter in cosmic rays and other high-energy phenomena in the hope of understanding its origins and behavior.
