Although our universe is mostly normal matter, antimatter isn’t so hard to create — supernovae, black holes, and even bananas can make it.
“A kilogram of matter-antimatter annihilation releases a whopping energy that’s over 250 times greater than that of nuclear fusion and over 8 orders of magnitude (108) more than chemical ...

The antiProton Unstable Matter Annihilation, or PUMA, is a compact experiment designed to carry antiprotons from CERN’s Antimatter Factory to the laboratory’s ISOLDE facility.
There's too much antimatter in cosmic rays, showers of charged particles that pelt Earth. Could this be explained by annihilating dark matter? If so, does it point to the existence of WIMPs?

The team investigated whether the WIMP dark matter candidate can explain this overabundance of antimatter. They found that WIMP annihilation could account for the overabundance of antihelium-3 but ...
This matter-antimatter annihilation phenomenon is one of the reasons antimatter is rarely observed in the current Universe. Antimatter is crucial for research in physics because it might hold key ...
As the fireball rapidly expands and cools, some antimatter escapes annihilation with matter and is detected by the STAR detector. Antihyperhydrogen-4 is composed of one antiproton, two ...
Matter/antimatter annihilation Matter/antimatter annihilation is a physical phenomenon where a particle of matter meets its corresponding antiparticle. During this encounter, both particles mutually ...
A team of researchers scrutinizing the brightest gamma-ray burst in at least 10,000 years identified a unique emission line that it believes could reveal some extreme physics at the heart of the burst ...
