This month, we chat about antimatter. A recent experiment probing antiprotonic helium (a helium atom where one of the electrons is replaced by an antiproton) found an unexpected result. Rather than spectral lines broadening as the temperature of the system was lowered, the spectral lines got sharper! Tune in to find out more...
