Scientists at the European Organization for Nuclear Research successfully transported antiprotons over several kilometers on a truck, marking what director-general Robert Aymar described as "the beginning of an entirely new epoch" and representing humanity's only chance to study this elusive matter form in motion outside particle accelerators like LHCb.
Key Points
-
1Scientists at CERN have successfully transported antimatter particles over a long distance for the first time in history.
-
2The achievement marks 'the beginning of an era' and is considered a milestone particle physics has been waiting to achieve since its inception, according to researchers involved. The transport was conducted using specialized vehicles within or near research facilities at CERN on March 24th.
Developments
