Antimatter has been transported for the first time ever — in the back of CERN's truck Physicists have succeeded for the first time in transporting the most expensive and most volatile substance on Earth — antimatter.

CERN just became the Deliveroo of antimatter 🚚

Scientists transported 92 antiprotons in a magnetic “bottle” across their site - because antimatter is too fragile to study in noisy environments. It’s a small delivery with huge implications for precision physics.
