Portable antimatter traps are here: CERN successfully drove a 1-ton magnetic container carrying antimatter 5km across Geneva


Researchers at CERN in Geneva conducted the world's first test of transporting antimatter by road in a specially designed container. The experiment involved moving 100 antiprotons in a 2,200-pound magnetic trap during a 30-minute truck ride. The breakthrough could eventually allow antimatter to be shipped to research facilities worldwide.
