Currently Playing: How do scientists handle antimatter?

Scientists study antimatter, investigating the ways in which it acts like ordinary matter and the ways in which it differs. Antimatter is the opposite of ordinary matter and, when matter and antimatter are combined, this releases substantial energy. Because the production and analysis facilities are not located at the same place, scientists are developing technology to transport antimatter. In this video, Fermilab’s Dr. Don explains why it is scientists can handle antimatter.
