Scientists Create Di-positronium Molecules
doxology writes "The BBC reports that scientists have been able to create di-positronium molecules. A di-positronium molecule consists of two positronium atoms, exotic atoms which are made from an electron and a positron (the anti-particle of the electron). A potential use of these molecules is to make extremely powerful gamma-ray lasers, possibly on sharks."
Hey! You're supposed to let US make the jokes.
If ever there was a topic which he could explain it would be this.

From the end of the summary, the very end in fact:
[...],possibly on sharks Can the author of the news please elaborate? I just don't see how this discovery possibly relates to an undeservedly frowned upon species of fish...
In Soviet Russia, electron is anti-particle of positron!
which is totally what she said
what would happen if Scotty reversed the polarity on those?
Oh, yeah, it's not easy to pad these out to 120 characters.
Or cancer.
Anti plants? Are you nuts? Anti plants do anti photosynthesis. And while glowing oaks might be cool, their carbon emissions are just way too high.
We used to have a Bill of Rights. Now, with the rights gone, all we have left is the bill.
Although dipositronium (Ps2) is considered to be a huge advance, scientists will be disappointed to discover that tripositronium (Ps3) will never be as popular as tungsten-diiodide (WII).
Or cancer. I realized long ago that the Marvel universe is identical to our own except for one fundamental detail: In our universe, when a freak accident occurs, people die. In the Marvel universe, they get super big, super strong, and oddly colored.
You can't take the sky from me...
