Only 1 Gram that Costs $25 Billion || Antimatter || Dream Machine
So commonly when we
think of the most valuable material in the world, our mind tends to center onto
Gold and while gold is very expensive with the current value of $55 per gram. There are other materials
that are significantly more expensive. Drugs like Heroine, Cocaine, and LSD are
the most expensive drugs in the world by sheer weight. The market value of
Diamond per gram is even more prohibitively expensive. But even this is nothing
compared to the most valuable material currently known to humanity which is
nothing but Antimatter.

: What Is The Antimatter?
Antimatter is the
opposite of regular matter. Down at the atomic level, antimatter is made up of
particles and atoms just like regular matter. The only thing is they have an
opposite electric charge. Whenever antimatter and matter touch one another they
instantly annihilate each other in a 100%
efficient release of energy. This
pure energy release is why antimatter could prove to be extremely useful.

: How Dangerous & Useful Is Antimatter?
The most efficient nuclear weapons convert
a mere 7% to 10% of their mass into energy while antimatter to matter, collision
releases 100% of their mass into
energy. If you’re carrying a 1 gram of antimatter about the size of a raisin and
dropped it on the ground, it would create an explosion greater than both the Hiroshima and Nagasaki nuclear explosion combined.
Antimatter is not used only for military or war purposes, beyond that, there are several uses
of antimatter. Anti-protons have been also shown in several studies to have the potential to treat certain kinds of cancers.
Antimatter could also
be used as a fuel source for interstellar travel. It is conceivable that using
antimatter as a fuel source could propel the rocket with humans on board to
about 50% of the speed of light
(Speed of light is about 3,00,000 km/s), Which is fast enough to reach the nearest
star (Alpha Centauri) to earth in just a
little over two years.

: Why we haven’t created Antimatter yet?
The Large Hadron
Collider (LHC) operated by CERN in
Switzerland is the world’s biggest and powerful particle
accelerator. This collider is capable of producing 10 million antiprotons
per minute, I know that sounds like a lot but it is a very tiny amount. To
produce just a single gram of antimatter at that rate of production, it would
take CERN almost 100 billion years to complete.
The antimatter is
incredibly rare, expensive, and difficult to produce. Antimatter is produced naturally in Earth’s
outer atmosphere when high-energy cosmic rays impact it, but the amount
produced is tiny.
Producing antimatter
is only the first problem though, storing it is perhaps an even larger problem
because antimatter explodes when it
comes in contact with regular matter so you cannot keep it in
ordinary container. You have to keep
antimatter without it coming into contact with anything. CERN has only
succeeded in storing antimatter atoms for record 17 minutes before they
became annihilated.

is
borrowing a tagging friend feature from Instagram, somewhat ironic Typing your friend‘s username in the caption
will allow other users to see your friend’s profile or you can add them.
2. Bose
is
developing AR (augmented reality) glasses with a focus on sound, Bose is
releasing a Bose AR SDK and setting up a $50
million funds to invest in companies
that will build things with Bose AR
3.Google
added video voicemail feature to its Duo

Where was the antimatter stored for 17 minutes? In what type of container? What was the reason that after 17 minutes annihilation occured? Just Some of my queries. Otherwise the article was very interesting :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for your comment.
DeleteThe antimatter is stored in magnetic container a method called Penning trap. In this sort of device, charged positrons and antiprotons are held by electric and magnetic forces and stay in the center of the container without touching its walls. These traps are so effective that particles can be stored for months without ever encountering matter.
The reason behind 17 minutes is the battery life of that container, if the batteries drained out then the antimatter will collide and can have big explosion.
These development designs are all the more normally what the body would use in regular day to day existence machine weights
ReplyDeleteAmazingly composed blog that has transfixed its crowd.
