Moontanman Posted May 4, 2010 Report Posted May 4, 2010 Purifying Positronium Could Help Develop Gamma Ray Lasers and Produce Fusion Power ScienceDaily (May 4, 2010) — Positronium is a short-lived system in which an electron and its anti-particle are bound together. In 2007, physicists at the University of California, Riverside created molecular positronium, a brand-new substance, in the laboratory. Now they have succeeded in isolating for the first time a sample of spin polarized positronium atoms. Purifying positronium could help develop gamma ray lasers and produce fusion power Quote
Rade Posted May 6, 2010 Report Posted May 6, 2010 I have a question. Does anyone know if positronium signature has been found within the confinement of the proton--via experiment ? I know, does not seem possible since proton nucleus has observed negative electron (e-) only, but, perhaps in the Dirac Sea of the proton---any experimental hint of positronium in the Dirac Sea of proton ?
