High-powered lasers have transformed the way researchers explore extreme physical phenomena, pushing the boundaries of ...

Antimatter can’t touch regular matter without annihilating on contact. That means it needs to be confined using magnetic or electric fields in ultra-high-vacuum environments. So far, researchers ...

Therefore, the only and best option is to use magnetic, electrostatic, or electromagnetic suspension of solid antimatter in a vacuum.” These types of suspension have, so far, only held a few ...

“[S]toring solid or liquid antimatter in contact with any state of matter is impossible,” Omira and Mourad wrote. “[A]ntimatter keeps on annihilating with matter at rapid rates. Therefore, the only ...

The discovery could help scientists get closer to understanding the mysterious invisible matter that makes up the bulk of our universe.

Antimatter needs to be handled carefully, to avoid it annihilating with the walls of the trap. This is hard to achieve in the ...
