Antimatter—It’s not Just for the Galactic Nucleus Anymore

Scientists using NASA’s orbital Fermi Gamma-ray Telescope find gamma rays and antimatter streaming out of thunderstorms into Earth’s upper atmosphere. Continue reading

Positronium produces a really big fricken’ laser beam

Bare with us for a second. Let’s delve into the workings of antimatter. When antimatter is mixed with its opposing counterpart, most commonly referred to as matter (or as we call it, stuff), both explode in a gamma radiation-producing frenzy. Though if you can stabilize the two opposing factors, you acquire a material called positronium. This being said, it basically translates into one very kick-ass giant ass fucking laser beam. The UC Riverside scientists held a piece of positronium active... Continue reading
