Since then, antimatter has been poked and prodded in as many ways as scientists could think of—including literally, but that causes the thing that antimatter is most famous for—self-annihilation.

This physicist thinks he can build an antimatter drive capable of taking us to the stars in less than a decade; all that’s needed is a *little* ready cash.

Antimatter-based propulsion offers a unique opportunity for missions to other star systems because it allows spacecraft to travel much faster than traditional chemical rockets.

Antimatter isn't just a sci-fi trope. Ryan Weed has been working on designing an antimatter propulsion system for years.

Here’s a cool diagram of the ICAN, also dreamt up by the Penn State antimatter propulsion lab: A strangely thrusty antimatter ship from NASA: And an antimatter ship designed by NASA to go to Mars: ...

A new field analysis explains what we need in order to progress with antimatter propulsion. While an antimatter engine is very far off, researching it could yield other discoveries as well.

It's extremely rare and usually exists for just 142 billionths of a second. Positronium can generate huge amounts of energy. It can shed light on 'antimatter' which existed at the beginning of the ...

In 1932, physicists glimpsed antimatter for the first time — a strange mirror image of regular matter with mind-bending potential. Nearly a century later, this ghostly substance could someday fuel a ...

“To be able to shitpost, you have to understand the subject matter really well,” Antimatter founder Jonathan Libov deadpans. “In a sense, shitposting is the highest form of consciousness ...

Positronium has the potential to revolutionise physics but the elusive substance had been too hot to handle.
