When scientists first proposed building an instrument to comb cosmic radiation for antimatter particles, they imagined it would fly on the International Space Station.
Instead, a prototype to demonstrate proof of concept has evolved into a science program on its own, with backing from NASA and Japan, and rides to the edge of space aboard high-flying balloons. The high-flying research could help answer big questions about how the universe began and the pervasiveness of dark matter.
