antihydrogen
Hydrogen's antimatter counterpart
Antihydrogen is the antimatter counterpart of hydrogen, consisting of an antiproton orbited by a positron rather than a proton and electron.
When antihydrogen contacts ordinary matter, both annihilate in a burst of energy.
Scientists create and study antihydrogen to test whether antimatter behaves identically to matter under physical laws.
