For the first time, Northwestern University physicists have coaxed a single positron — the antimatter counterpart of an electron — into an exquisitely controlled quantum state.

    I wonder what they called it,since they tamed it.

    I’m thinking Anton if it’s a boy particle, Antonia if it’s a girl, and Matty if it’s nonbinary.

    Perhaps Antti (Niemi) if it’s Finnish 🤷🏻

      How do you determine it’s gender? The spin? Electrical charge? Quark makeup?
