    Physicist Carl Anderson was born #OTD in 1905.

    Anderson developed an improved cloud chamber that he used to identify the positron – the antiparticle of the electron first theorized by Dirac.

    Nowadays we use these particles for positron emission tomography (PET), android brains, and ghost busting.
