Question

How can scientists store anti matter if it dissappear whenever it touches other atoms?

In: Physics

Answer 1

Just like you said – by preventing it from touching other atoms! At a simple level: You create the antimatter in a vacuum chamber that is (nearly) empty of atoms, and then use electric and magnetic fields to keep the antimatter in place and not touching anything.
