The famous double-slit experiment (illustrated) has revealed that particles of matter,
like electrons, are also waves. Now, researchers have performed a similar experiment
to demonstrate antimatter’s wavelike behavior.

Below, some additional graphics I found elsewhere online...

Below, a link to a surprisingly excellent, and fascinating, 6-min cartoon illustration of the standard double-slit experiment and other totally bizarre quantum phenomenon...

You are only coming through in waves.

From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antimatter:

Scientists claim that antimatter is the costliest material to make.[68] In 2006, Gerald Smith estimated $250 million could produce 10 milligrams of positrons[69] (equivalent to $25 billion per gram); in 1999, NASA gave a figure of $62.5 trillion per gram of antihydrogen.[68]

It’s two mints in one!

A positron is equivalent to an electron traveling backwards in time, so they got the expected result.

Great post.

I had no idea that atoms and molecules demonstrate wave behavior.

I thought only discrete particles like photons and electrons did that.

Fascinating stuff.
