CERN scientists are about to embark on transporting antimatter via truck later this year, after breakthrough first tests have shown it is possible, and safe, to do.

A special particle trap designed to fit in a truck let researchers haul 70 protons across the CERN campus. Antiprotons may be next.

Conventional cooling techniques are difficult to apply to antimatter because it is highly challenging to put matter and antimatter in the same trap. Applying the new technique should allow a ...

May 14, 2025 — Scientists have successfully relocated protons outside of an antimatter laboratory with the help of an autonomous, open Penning trap.

Frozen antimatter study to 'alter our understanding' of the universe Researchers have for the first time slowed down an antimatter atom using lasers to more precisely study this physical phenomena.

Scientists have succesfully measured the direct influence of gravity on antimatter for the first time in history by dropping antihydrogen atoms from a magnetic trap, and observing as they ...

A recently unveiled experiment at CERN confirms that Einstein was right; antimatter reacts to natural forces the same way as matter. It's a logical hypothesis, but scientists ...

Notably, if we weakened the top and bottom of the bottle, the atoms would be able to leave the trap under the influence of gravity. We counted how many anti-atoms escaped upwards and downwards by ...

Antimatter is the mirror version of every particle in the universe. For the last 100 years, physicists have been wondering if it falls down or up with gravity.

In this rendition, they wanted to turn the trap off slowly, making it weaker and weaker until antihydrogen atoms started to escape. If gravity were pulling the antimatter down, the antihydrogen atoms ...

We counted how many anti-atoms escaped upwards and downwards by detecting the antimatter annihilations created as the anti-atoms collided with surrounding matter particles in the trap.
