Using Antimatter as Fuel for Rockets

Giovanna Tomiotto

Abstract

The human’s quest to explore the universe results in more innovation and newer technologies to our world. In the urge to go even further through space, it has become necessary to develop new and better propulsion systems. Research shows that antimatter energy is more efficient than any other energy. A spaceship that uses antimatter will need smaller volumes of fuel compared to the typical fuel used nowadays. However, the following research concludes that using antimatter as fuel for rockets is still science fiction and is not yet feasible.
