Scientists in Europe have succeeded in making large amounts of antihydrogen
-- the antimatter opposite of the most common and best-understood element
in the universe.

By making this anti-atom in quantity and slowing its frenetic motions to a
virtual stop, they hope to study it at leisure for the first time, seeking
answers to fundamental questions that touch on some of most basic tenets of
physics:

If the big bang that created the universe spewed out equal amounts of
matter and antimatter, why does matter predominate today?
