Physicists May Have Figured Out How to Safely Transport Antimatter
4 days ago · Michael Irving. Sun, November 10, 2024, 4:00 AM EST · 3 min read. Proton structure. Physicists have made a major breakthrough in transporting antimatter, successfully completing a dry run using other subatomic particles. This marks the first time that loose particles have been transported like this, and it paves the way for a method of ...
