AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the observation of anti-atoms and anti-molecules, specifically questioning whether positrons can interact with anti-protons to form stable structures. It highlights that antihydrogen atoms have been successfully trapped at CERN, marking a significant experimental achievement. Participants seek further details and descriptions of these observations, indicating a strong interest in the implications for understanding antimatter. The conversation underscores the importance of ongoing research in the field of particle physics. The trapping of antihydrogen at CERN represents a crucial step in exploring the properties of antimatter.

Since the possibility exists that a positron can fall into the well of potential surrounding an anti-proton, it begs the question, have any anti-atoms or anti-molecules been observed in a laboratory or elsewhere? If so, where can I find any description or details of the observations?

I think it's easist first to watch a short vidio clip I find these videos very relaxing to watch .. I got to thinking is this being done in the most efficient way? The sand has to be suspended in the water to move it to the outlet ... The faster the water , the more turbulance and the sand stays suspended, so it seems to me the rule of thumb is the hose be aimed towards the outlet at all times .. Many times the workers hit the sand directly which will greatly reduce the water...
comparing a flat solar panel of area 2π r² and a hemisphere of the same area, the hemispherical solar panel would only occupy the area π r² of while the flat panel would occupy an entire 2π r² of land. wouldn't the hemispherical version have the same area of panel exposed to the sun, occupy less land space and can therefore increase the number of panels one land can have fitted? this would increase the power output proportionally as well. when I searched it up I wasn't satisfied with...
