    Truck drives 100 antiprotons around a parking lot.. then paywalled.
    Anyone have a link to the full article?

    Storing particles in a tailored electromagnetic field is already cool. Being able to count and track individual subatomic particles is itself pretty wild.

    Doing both at the same time is pretty incredible before you even consider the fact that they are *antiprotons*.

    On the more practical side, this is the first step towards bringing the material to the labs instead of having to build the labs around the thing that generates the material.

    Antimatter stuff is just so cool. If only because you get to use metric prefixes so small you never see them anywhere else.

  3. Transporting antimatter? This is how I learn that we’ve made actual antimatter.

  4. Electromagnetic noise disturbs the precise measurements of the BASE collaboration at CERN.

    So far they used the quieter times of Christmas breaks and technical shutdowns to run their experiments .

    But now they want to bring the antiprotons (which can only be made at CERN’s AD machine) to other places like Düsseldorf, where Stefan Ulmer and Christian Smorra work.

  5. I’m curious about what kind of safety measures there are? Like is this enough antimatter to be dangerous if there were a problem?
