"TRAPPING ANTIMATTER"
PHYSICISTS HAVE SUCCEEDED IN TRAPPING A FEW HUNDRED
THOUSAND PARTICLES OF ANTIMATTER. THE TRAPPED PARTICLES
WERE POSITRONS, THE ANTIMATTER VERSION OF ELECTRONS.
THE TWO ARE IDENTICAL EXCEPT FOR ELECTRIC CHARGE, POSITRONS
BEING POSITIVE AND ELECTRIONS NEGATIVE.
RESEARCHERES AT AT&T BELL LABORATORIES AND THE UNIVERSITY
OF CALIFORNIA IN SAN DIEGO SNARED THE FAST-MOVING POSITIRONS
IN A WALNUT-SIZE TRAP OF MAGNETIC FIELDS. THEIR SOURCE WAS
RADIOACTIVE SODIUM.
THE POSITRONS FORMED A POSITIVE CHARGED PLASMA WITHIN
THE MAGNETIC FIELD, WHICH ISOLATED THE PARTICLES FROM ORDINARY
MATTER. AFTER ABOUT A MIMUTE THE POSITRONS BEGAN LEAKING FROM
THEIR MAGNETIC "bottle", VANISHING IN BURSTS OF ENERGY AS THEY
COLLIED WITH ELECTRONS.
THE EXPERIMENT RAISES THE POSSIBILITY THAT PHYSICISTS MIGHT
SOMEDAY MANUFACTURE THE FIRST ANTIMATTER ELEMENT, ANTIHYDROGEN-
(THE FILP SIDE OF HYDROGEN). THEORETICALLY, ANTIHYDROGEN IS
THE MOST EFFICIENT SOURCE OF ENERGY CONCEIVABLE. IF ANTIHYDROGEN
AND ORDINARY HYDROGEN COULD MEET, THEIR MASS WOULD BE COMPLETELY
TRANSFORMED INTO ENERGY.
