yes, positrons were discovered in experiments in the 1930s just like theory had predicted. many other anti-particles have been discovered since.

What is matter with an unusual quality?

Antimatter is a type of matter with an unusual quality - it has properties that are opposite to those of normal matter. For example, when antimatter comes into contact with normal matter, they annihilate each other, releasing a large amount of energy. Antimatter is rare in the universe and is usually produced in high-energy processes like particle accelerators.


What is anti hydrogen?

Antihydrogen is a form of antimatter consisting of an antiproton and a positron (antielectron). When antihydrogen comes into contact with ordinary matter, they annihilate each other, releasing energy in the form of gamma rays. Scientists study antihydrogen to better understand the nature of antimatter and its interactions with ordinary matter.


What does it mean when you say matter in a scientific way?

Sometimes it is in opposition to antimatter. In this sense matter is everything that is composed of atoms, electrons, protons, neutrons and other more exotic particles. But not their anti particles. It also doesn't include various things such as energy or gravity (though both matter and antimatter may carry energy, and have gravitational fields)


What is a type of radioactive decay that involves emission from the nucleus of a high speed antimatter particle that is a counterpart of the electron?

This is beta decay, specifically beta plus decay. The beta particle that appears is the positron, which is the antimatter particle of the electron. Links can be found below for more information.


Matter does not contain?

Matter is the basis for everything. Anything that exists has matter. Dark matter are anomalies that cannot account for "missing matter". Matter does not contain the solar energy and radio signals that travel through "empty space".

Does antimatter still exist?

Yes!


Why is antimatter so powerful?

its hypothetical, it shouldn't exist...


Is there any proof that antimatter exists?

Yes, antimatter has been observed in laboratory experiments and high-energy particle collisions. The existence of antimatter is supported by the theoretical framework of quantum field theory, which predicts the existence of antimatter as a counterpart to ordinary matter. Additionally, antimatter has practical applications in medical imaging and research.

How can we get anti matteris there exist in a universe?

One has to go to far-away galaxies to get hold antimatter particles


Why is there not nearly as much antimatter than matter?

There are no definite answers with our current level of understanding of antimatter at this point but scientists believe that this is the result of an imbalance in the production of matter and antimatter particles in the early universe. Another explanation for this phenomenon is that Antimatter may exist in relatively large amounts in far away galaxies due to inflation in the primordial time of the universe
