Professor Hawari who worked on the project explains its benefits: "The idea here is that if we create this intense beam of antimatter electrons — the complete opposite of the electron, basically — we can then use them in investigating and understanding the new types of materials being used in many applications." Now we just need anti-matter shark technology and we will be unstoppable!"
