Antimatter can be safely stored using magnetic fields to contain it and prevent contact with normal matter, which would cause annihilation. Specialized equipment and facilities are required to handle and store antimatter safely.

How much does one gram of antimatter?

Anti matter does NOT exist. As soon as it is in contact with matter which is anything ; solid , liquid , gas, they are both annihilated. You can think of antimatter as protons with a negative charge and electrons with as positive charge. So Proton^+ Proton^- = Annihilation (??? Energy) Electron ^- + electron^+(positron) = Annihilation (???? Energy).


Where can you find antimatter?

Antimatter can be found in small quantities on Earth in particle accelerators and in outer space, such as in cosmic rays and near black holes. It is a rare substance that is difficult to produce and store due to its volatile nature.


Does antimatter possess negative mass?

No, antimatter does not possess negative mass. Antimatter has the same mass as regular matter, but opposite charge.


How much does antimatter cost?

Antimatter is extremely expensive to create and store, costing billions of dollars for even tiny amounts. The cost comes from the high energy requirements of its production and the complex technology needed to contain it.


How much antimatter have humans ever made?

We have created 20 nanograms of antimatter. To get you on track, one nanogram is a billionth of a gram. Antimatter is very hard to make, so far only a very small quantity has ever been produced; much less than a milligram has ever been produced and yes there is a way to store it. It's called the penning trap. The penning trap is a container in extreme vacuum and magnetic fields. This is to prevent the antimatter from touching air, since air is made of matter.

Are nanites invented?

NO they are not possible to build safely because the antimatter would explode the UNIVERSE and no one wants that

Is it possible to propel an aircraft using antimatter?

It is not possible to propel an aircraft using antimatter because the technology to create and store antimatter requires equipment that is very large and massive (not able to be carried in an airplane), because there is no current technology for long-term, portable storage of antimatter, and because current technology permits creation of antimatter only in exceedingly small amounts.


Can anti matter be used as a weapon?

In theory, it might. But consider the following practical considerations:1. Antimatter wouldn't really produce energy, only store it. You need energy to produce antimatter.2. Storing it for a prolonged period of time poses immense practical problems. If antimatter meets normal matter, they will mutually destroy each other. This means that normal containers can't be used to store antimatter.


Why matter overcome antimatter?

That is one of the unsolved problems in cosmology. There seems to be a slight difference between matter and antimatter, that is, the symmetry between matter and antimatter is not perfect. But the details of baryogenesis are not known yet.


If 1gram body of antimatter meets a 10gram body of matter which survives?

Initially the 9g of remaining matter would survive. Each particle of antimatter can only annihilate with one other particle of antimatter. At this point the 1g of antimatter would cause an explosion equivalent to that of 200000 pounds of TNT. Causing both groups of matter and antimatter to be obliterated.
