""It is something humanity has never done before, it is historic," says Stefan Ulmer, a physicist at Heinrich Heine University Düsseldorf, and member of the team."
""Now it's finally possible," says Christian Smorra, a physicist at HHU who led the project, reflecting on the dream of transporting antimatter."
""This is a great technological achievement," says Tara Shears, a physicist at the University of Liverpool, UK, emphasizing the marvel of transporting fragile antimatter."
CERN transported 92 antiprotons in a specially designed magnetic bottle for a 30-minute journey around its site. The goal is to study antiprotons in a quieter environment than the CERN facility. This marks a significant achievement as CERN is the only place producing usable quantities of antiprotons. The event was celebrated by the antimatter community, highlighting the technological advancements in handling fragile antimatter. Researchers believe this could lead to deeper understanding of the universe's mysteries.
