CERN researchers took a few antimatter particles for a walk in an unprecedented transportation test | Portable containment will allow researchers to more accurtely study and measure antimatter

The European Organization for Nuclear Research, better known as CERN, is one of the few places on Earth capable of routinely producing antimatter from high-energy collisions with particle accelerators. Judging by the truck's route carrying the experimental containment device, the researchers likely crossed the border from France into Switzerland and back. Magnetic field fluctuations from the facility's decelerators interfere with experiments, while dedicated off-site laboratories could enable more accurate results.
