Sci Friday: Antimatter

The next few years may brings us spectacular new discoveries about antimatter.  CERN has gone from creating a few dozen atoms of anti-hydrogen at a time to making hundreds, and the Space Shuttle Endeavor will soon deliver a new antimatter and dark matter detector to the International Space Station.

Here are some articles that try to predict what we might learn.

• CERN makes 309 anti-hydrogen atoms.
• The Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer (AMS): looking for antimatter in space.
• NASA’s mission summary for Shuttle Endeavor’s last mission (pdf file).
• Would antimatter give us antigravity?
