Antimatter is the same as ordinary matter except that it has the opposite electric charge . For instance, an electron, which has a negative charge, has an antimatter partner known as a positron. A positron is a particle with the same mass as an electron but a positive charge. Particles with no electric charge, like neutrons, are often their own antimatter partners. But researchers have yet to determine if mysterious tiny particles known as neutrinos , which are also neutral, are their own antiparticles. Although it may sound like something out of science fiction, antimatter is real. Antimatter was created along with matter after the Big Bang . But antimatter is rare in today's universe, and scientists aren't sure why. Humans have created antimatter particles using ultra-high-speed collisions at huge particle accelerators such as the Large Hardon collider, which is located outside Geneva and operated by CERN (the European Organization for N...
