Antimatter is the stuff of science fiction. In the book and film Angels and Demons, Professor Langdon tries to save Vatican City from an antimatter bomb. Star Trek's starship Enterprise uses matter-antimatter annihilation propulsion for faster-than-light travel.
But antimatter is also the stuff of reality. Antimatter particles are almost identical to their matter counterparts except that they carry the opposite charge and spin. When antimatter meets matter, they immediately annihilate into energy. There are still many facts about antimatter that will tickle your brain cells.
