‘Antimatter’ captured by CERN scientists in dramatic physics breakthrough
Antimatter has been captured by scientists for the first time in an astonishing physics breakthrough that echoes the hit Hollywood movie Angels & Demons. An antimatter reactor powers the starship Enterprise in the TV series Star Trek Photo: REX FEATURES Researchers at the European Nuclear Research Centre (CERN), in Geneva claimed that had trapped dozens of hydrogen “antimatter” atoms, a technical feat that significantly boosts research into one of the great puzzles of particle physics. But the 38 atoms of anti-hydrogen trapped by scientists for one sixth of a second would hardly pose a threat to the Vatican. Nor could they drive a starship, as depicted in Star Trek. But the particles is…
