Abstract
Positronium, a bound system consisting of an electron and a positron, provides a platform for studying a wide variety of physical effects, ranging from tests of the equivalence principle to diagnostic applications in medicine. This Colloquium gives an overview of the current state of positronium physics, with an equal emphasis on fundamental and applied physics.
