Physicists drive antihydrogen breakthrough at CERN with record trapping technique Physicists from Swansea University have played the leading role in a scientific breakthrough at CERN, developing an innovative technique that increases the antihydrogen trapping rate by a factor of te...

Producing/trapping #antihydrogen.
Before: 24 hours to trap just 2,000 atoms,
Now: Dramatic efficiency boost! in antihydrogen —allowing a record 15,000 atoms to be trapped in less than 7 hours! #SwanseaUniversity #CERN #physics #matter #science

Photo sensor from smartphones helps with antimatter research at CERN With photo sensors from simple smartphones, researchers at CERN can record antimatter reactions in real time and with unprecedented resolution.

Francesco Guatieri and his team repurposed regular phone #photosensors to create an #antimatter sensor for
@cern.bsky.social with 35 times better real-time resolution than any previous sensors of its kind: go.tum.de/816290
