I don’t understand how an anti-proton can orbit a nucleus without annihilating into pure energy with a proton from the nucleus. What am I missing here? Honest

Honestly speaking I am really amazed by these researchers ability to separate and then “shove” an anti-proton in a Helium gas.

- simonh 5y agoIf a proton in the nucleus and orbiting anti-proton don’t collide (to simplify somewhat), then they won’t annihilate.
