According to the law of conservation of mass, "Matter can neither be created nor be destroyed". Antimatter is also matter because it has weight and occupies space. The difference is that it has opposite charges on its particles i.e

(+ve)electron

and (-ve)proton.

As a result of annihilation of matter and antimatter, a very very huge amount of energy is released of what you can't imagine! You can't destroy matter with antimatter but you can convert it into Energy by annihilating them.

If the first law of thermodynamics is right, and we must assume it is, then energy can move from place to place and can not be destroyed nor created. It might be stored though.

A vacuum consist of anti-matter; the opposite of matter...matter is something and anti-matter is nothing.

Why cant you store anti matter?

As soon as anti-matter comes in contact with matter, the two annihilate. As such, placing anti-matter into any container made of matter would result in both being annihilated. The only way to maintain anti-matter for any length of time is to keep it isolated from matter. Magnetic fields can do this for a short time, but invevitably the anti-matter and the matter meet each other.
