Antimatter is a type of matter composed of antiparticles, which have the same mass as regular particles but opposite charge.
Antimatter can be created through high-energy collisions between particles, such as in particle accelerators, or through radioactive decay.
While antimatter is not commonly found in nature, it can be created in small amounts through processes such as lightning strikes and cosmic ray collisions.
When antimatter and matter come into contact, they annihilate each other and release a large amount of energy in the form of gamma rays.
Scientists are studying antimatter to better understand the fundamental laws of physics and to potentially use it in applications such as medical imaging and energy production.
