Scientists move antimatter for the first time in breakthrough test at CERN

Scientists at CERN in Geneva successfully transported a cloud of 92 antiprotons across the world’s largest physics lab, marking the first time antimatter has ever been moved in a controlled test. The particles were kept stable inside a super‑cooled container and monitored closely to prevent contact with regular matter, which would destroy them instantly. Researchers say the milestone opens the door to safely moving antimatter between labs, a key step toward studying why the universe contains matter at all.
