An Antimatter hunting detector will be going to the International Space Station in Space Shuttle Endeavour on its final flight (STS-134 in case anyone hasn't been following the news). The Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer is a device that detects particle physics and that will mostly measure the high energy particles in space (cosmic rays). It will also search for signs of antimatter and any look into dark matter. Its creators have big hopes for this experiment.
