Antimatter atoms produced and trapped at CERN.

One of the Universe's open questions maybe a step closer to be answered thanks to over 30 atoms of antihydrogen that have been trapped and stored by scientists at the European Organization for Nuclear Research, Cern.

According to a written statement, this opens the path to new ways of making detailed measurements of antihydrogen, which will allow scientists to compare matter and antimatter, the latter being what annihilates ordinary matter in a single explosive flash of energy.

This is exciting!! Being able to study antimatter is really going to help fill in some of the puzzle pieces. I really hope they stop cutting CERN's funding, their work is important.

warp drive is not powered by antimatter proton lol.

@xsarahsaysx Thumbs up if you put CERN in your will for funding it.

Next step to find a way to produce it en mass. Wonder what an anti-tachyon does.........(dont get your science from comic books, folks)

Awesome.
