- 1Antimatter survives road trip in world firstโ๐โจ # Antimatter survives roadtrip In March 2026, the international research collaboration # BASE , in which GSI/FAIR is
The international BASE research collaboration, which includes GSI/FAIR, has achieved a milestone at CERN: for the first time, 92 antiprotons were successfully transported in a mobile trap without any loss. The demonstration shows antimatter particles can be moved between facilities on the ground, opening the way for precision experiments conducted at locations other than CERN and for new antimatter transport technologies.
- 2Physicists transport antimatter trap through public roads by truckโผWhy physicists drove a trap full of antimatter through traffic on a truck
Physicists have moved a trap containing antimatter on a truck through public traffic, a rare and delicate operation. Antimatter annihilates on contact with ordinary matter, so the transport required specialised containment and raised safety questions. The stunt demonstrates how far antimatter handling technology has advanced, and observers are discussing both the scientific achievement and the risks of moving such volatile material through ordinary streets.

CERN researchers have demonstrated controlled transport of 92 antiprotons, a technical advance in handling antimatter outside accelerators. Physicists say the achievement strengthens the experimental toolkit for probing fundamental symmetries, testing CPT invariance and carrying out ever more precise measurements of antimatter's properties. While modest in scale, the feat points toward new experiments that could deepen understanding of why the universe contains so little antimatter.
- 4Cartoonist DW Williamson shares new Berkeley comicโHad to be Berkeley DWWILLIAMSON.COM . . # dwwilliamson # dww # cartoonist # comic # comics # comicart # cartoon # cartoo
Cartoonist DW Williamson published a new comic riffing on Berkeley, tagged with themes of matter versus antimatter and annihilation, and pointed readers to his website for more of his work. Responses so far have been small, but the piece is making the rounds among comic and illustration fans who follow his humor and ink drawings.
- 5Professor Tara Shears to host public evening on antimatterโAn evening with Professor Tara Shears OBE exploring the mysteries of antimatter
The University of Liverpool is hosting an evening event with Professor Tara Shears OBE exploring the mysteries of antimatter. The particle physicist, known for her work on the LHCb experiment at CERN, will discuss what antimatter is, why it remains one of physics' biggest puzzles, and why the universe appears to be made almost entirely of matter despite theory suggesting equal amounts of both should have formed after the Big Bang.
