Positrons are the antimatter equivalent of electrons, with a positive charge and low prevalence in the universe. They can be used in particle accelerator experiments and positron emission tomography for diagnostic purposes. Proposed applications include antimatter warfare and energy production, but are unlikely due to their indiscriminate effects and high energy requirements. A positron is […]
Positron emission is a type of radioactive decay that produces a positron, which is the antimatter counterpart of an electron. This process is used in medical imaging studies, such as positron emission tomography (PET), to visualize body functions and diagnose medical conditions. PET scans are non-invasive and can provide valuable information, particularly in neurology research. […]
