Antimatter elements, besides hydrogen and helium, have not been fabricated. To make antimatter of a subatomic particle, two other subatomic particles are smashed together at stupid-high speed. In the collision, antimatter is sometimes formed. A simpler way to make antimatter, specifically positrons (anti-electrons), is to let certain radioactive materials exist – they will passively form positrons as they decay.
