...which decay into antielectrons, known as positrons. A black hole, scientists believe, can also produce electron-positron pairs by superheating the material that spirals into its gravitational sinkhole. It was the radiation produced by annihilating positrons and electrons, not the antimatter itself, that was actually observed by Purcell at Northwestern and his collaborators at the Naval Research Laboratory in Washington...
