Antimatter fascinates physicists, but it also fires the imagination of science-fiction authors, Star Trek fans and the general public. But what exactly is antimatter?
How do you make antimatter? Can it be stored? Will it soon be used for everyday purposes? And why do we owe our existence – and that of our universe – to the tiny distinction between matter and antimatter? Rolf Landua, one of the world’s leading experts on antimatter, answers these and other questions in his lively book.
