You like to learn about the universe and outer space. You dream to travel around the universe one day and reach different stars with a short period of time. Your dream is possible to become reality since the scientists are working on an engine that may take you travel to the outer space at amazing speeds. They are developing antimatter spacecraft. Like the name, this engine uses antimatter particles which can create great power when they collide with normal matter. Since antimatter is the opposite of normal matter, they attract one another and the collision can produce energy that will be able to move the engine at the speed of light.

Are you curious in the making process of antimatter spacecraft that will become another giant leap for a mankind? This spacecraft later will be able to take you to the outer space within a far shorter time than we can do now with liquid-hydrogen engine. For example, the trip to Mars will take far shorter time from 11 months to 1 month.

How will antimatter spacecraft work? Well, to answer that you should know the meaning of antimatter. Antimatter is the opposite of the normal matter. Based on the research, scientists have found that anti-particles exist in our universe. These particles are the mirror images of normal matter. Here are some of the particles such as positrons, anti-protons, and anti-atoms.

When those particles come in contact with the normal matter, they collide and produce an explosion at the speed of light. It transfers the entire mass of both objects into energy that is so powerful. This energy is used to generate the engine that can move so fast.
