antimatter

World Encyclopedia | 2005 | © World Encyclopedia 2005, originally published by Oxford University Press 2005. (Hide copyright information) Copyright

antimatter Matter made up of antiparticles, identical to ordinary particles in every way except the charge, spin and magnetic moment are reversed. Its existence is predicted by the quantum mechanics. When an antiparticle, such as a positron (anti-electron), antiproton, or antineutron meets its respective particle, both are annihilated. The possibility exists that there are stars or galaxies composed entirely of antimatter. See also subatomic particles
