CERN Just Took Antimatter on a Road Trip in a Box Truck: Most Fragile Delivery, Ever
If you thought hauling hazardous chemicals or volatile fuel was stressful, imagine transporting a payload that will instantly annihilate if it touches… anything. That was life for scientists at CERN this week, who successfully took the universe’s most delicate substance, antimatter, for a spin in a heavy-duty box truck.

Long-time Slashdot reader Qbertino writes: ... but the CERN Project "Antimatter in motion" just did it. For the first time in history researchers at CERN have transported 92 antiprotons on a truck in a specially designed magnetic enclosure. The test-drive went so well that the researchers spontaneou...
There are no natural reserves of antimatter on Earth and therefore it must be produced with particle accelerators, such as those of Cern, to obtain them in a significant way for certain experiments. Antimatter would be an explosive and a revolutionary source of energy if it were not...
