Series: SIRS Enduring Issues 2006Article 53Science. Publisher: Scientific American, 2005ISSN: 1522-3264;.Subject(s): Antimatter | Antiprotons | CP violation (Nuclear physics) | Discoveries in science | Laboratories | ResearchDDC classification: 050 Summary: "Like evil twins of ordinary particles, antimatter versions mirror their mundane counterparts in every way, except for having the opposite charge, and they promise violent annihilation if ever the twain should meet. Indeed, the conflagration of a single gram of antimatter particles merging with their normal matter siblings would release energy equivalent to about 40 kilotons of TNT, or enough to power nearly 5,000 households for a year." (SCIENTIFIC AMERICAN) This article describes antimatter and explains why scientists are so interested in studying it.| Item type | Current location | Call number | Status | Date due |
