ANTIMATTER: A MYSTERIOUS REALM OF PHYSICS
Keywords:
antimatter, particle physics, annihilation, positron, CERN, universeAbstract
Antimatter is one of the most astonishing and enigmatic areas in modern physics. Each ordinary particle may have a corresponding "anti-particle" with opposite electric charge. This article explores the discovery, physical properties, potential existence, and cosmic role of antimatter in a popular-scientific format. In addition, its practical applications and future research directions are also addressed.
