This shrimp is no bigger than your thumb, and it’s a master of physics. Here’s how it manages to create shockwaves and flashes of light hotter than the Sun.

With key improvements to how antiproton and positron plasmas merge, researchers surpassed state-of-the-art antihydrogen production by over an order of magnitude.
