Antimatter particles detected on the International Space Station may be evidence for unknown physics, new research suggests.
Yet antimatter in the universe is scarce and fleeting. While particle accelerators can generate antiparticles through collisions of protons and electrons, and special detectors observe antiparticles from high-energy space collisions, such as those from supernova explosions, these usually yield only single antiparticles like positrons and antiprotons.However, about eight years ago, the Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer aboard the ISS detected around 10 antihelium nuclei.
