Antimatter is science fiction. In the book and movie Angels and Demons, Professor Langdon tries to save the Vatican from an antimatter bomb. The starship Enterprise from Star Trek uses the destruction of matter and antimatter to travel faster than light. But antimatter is also a matter of reality. Antimatter particles are almost identical to their matter counterparts, except that they carry the opposite charge and spin. When antimatter meets matter, it instantly annihilates into energy. While antimatter bombs and antimatter-powered spaceships are far-fetched, there are still plenty of facts about antimatter that will tickle your brain cells.
