Antimatter is difficult to produce and store in large quantities from "summary" of Antimatter by Frank Close
The production and storage of antimatter in large quantities is an incredibly challenging task. Antimatter is the mirror image of normal matter, consisting of antiparticles instead of particles. When a particle of antimatter encounters a particle of matter, they annihilate each other in a burst of energy. This property makes antimatter a powerful source of energy, but also poses significant obstacles to its production and storage. One of the main challenges in producing antimatter is its scarcity in the universe. Antimatter is extremely rare in our everyday environment, and large quantities of it must be created artificially in particle accelerators. Even when produced, antimatter is difficult to store because of its tendency to annihilate upon contact with normal matter. Special containment systems are required to prevent this annihilation, which adds to the complexity and cost of producing and storing ...
