Antimatter trap tightens its grip

Published Jun 1, 2011• 0 citations

Abstract

Physicists working on the ALPHA experiment at CERN, who in 2010 became the first to capture and store atoms of antimatter for long enough to examine them in detail, have made another significant advance.

Physicists At CERN Use Laser To Manipulate Antimatter

Alexander Bolano

In a study published a few days ago in Nature, a team of physicists at CERN report that they have successfully used a laser to induce a change of energy state for an atom of antimatter. Antimatter is notoriously difficult to produce, contain, and manipulate, so the experiment is monumental as it represents a great advance in
