Anti-matter is a matter consisting of elementary particles which are the antiparticles of those making up normal matter.
The electrical properties of antimatter being opposite to those of ordinary matter, thepositron has a positive chargeand the antiproton a negativecharge; the antineutron, though electrically neutral, has amagnetic moment opposite in sign to that of the neutron.
We see its signature in cosmicrays, and it is routinely made in high-energy collisions inside particle smashers the world over. In hospitals, radioactivemolecules that emit antimatter particles are used for imaging in the technique known as positron emission tomography.

Hey Mate ★
§ Thanks for the question §
So WHAT IS ACTUALLY ANTI MATTER???
You must be wondering about it. Don't worry its not that much hard concept. Do you know about matter? oh great!
Anti matter is just the opposite of matter. In other words anti matter have same size, shape like the matter but its charge are opposite.
We all know matters are composed of particles but anti matters are made up of anti particles.
Now what are anti particles right!
Anti particles are nothing but having the same properties like the particles of matter, they are only different in electric charge and quantum numbers. Now you must be wondering what i actually mean by different in electric charge. I simply mean if a partice is of positive (+) charge then its anti particle will have negetive (-) charge.
Lets take an example of Hydrogen.
Then the anti particle of hydrogen will be anti hydrogen. Both will be same in mass, size and shape but will be different in electric charge and quantum numbers. if hydrogen will be positive then anti hydrogen will be negetive in nature.
Antimatter particles bind with one another to form antimatter, just as ordinary particles bind to form normal matter. For example, a positron (the antiparticle of the electron) and an antiproton (the antiparticle of the proton) can form an antihydrogen atom. Physical principles indicate that complex antimatter atomic nuclei are possible, as well as anti-atoms corresponding to the known chemical elements.
WHAT ARE THE PROPERTIES OF ANTI MATTER??
There is no such different properties. Anti matter is just the mirror image of ordinary matter as i said above. The anti matter have same size, shape, mass like the ordinary matter but have opposite charge and quantum numbers.
Lets take an example the positron (anti particle of electron) has a positive charge and the antiproton a negative charge; the antineutron, though electrically neutral, has a magnetic moment opposite in sign to that of the neutron.
But there is a interesting fact about matters and anti matter that is whenever matter and anti matter meets, they vanish. Not actually vanish, whenever they colide, they releases energy (mainly in the form of heat and work) and they don't exist in their previous state.
You can just imagine if any human made up of anti matter exist, when it will come in contact or colide with any matter, leave matter, if he/she will touch you, both you and he/she will convert to energy in other words tataa bye bye i mean you will die.
SO WHERE ARE ANTI MATTERS PRODUCED???? :thinking_face:
Its the first question which came to my mind when i was researching about anti matters.
Its really an interesting question. Lets start our discussion on this topic.
Anti matters are produced every where in the universe where high-energy particle collisions take place. But in those places matters are also created and when they come in contact with each other they again convert to energy so, it become difficult to detect them.
So in simple words anti matters are produced in every place where high-energy particle collisions take place.
NOW IS THERE ANY USE OF ANTI MATTERS???
Really guys i bet you won't believe me when i will tell you the uses of anti matter.
In hospitals, radioactive molecules that emit anti matter particles are used for imaging in the technique known as positron emission tomography.
Antiprotons can be used in propulsion (the action of driving or pushing forwards) to produce direct thrust, energize a propellant, or heat a solid core. There are many different concepts regarding antimatter propulsion.
If 1 anti proton will react with 1 proton in the environment it will release 0.3 nanoJoules. So we can use anti matter for production of energy but our technology is not that much advanced till now. But i am sure in future we will suceed in it. Due to that, pollution will also reduce.
HOPE THIS WILL HELP !!!
Thanks for this wonderful question
