At the end of March 2026 physicists from CERN, the European particle physics laboratory, managed to move 92 antiprotons by road, on a truck, about ten kilometres around their Geneva site. These antimatter particles annihilate at the least contact with ordinary matter, making their exit from the laboratory almost unthinkable so far. This first transport of antimatter by road has held thanks to a portable cryogenic trap that keeps the antiprotons …
