LIVE: CERN scientists transport volatile antimatter for the first time

Watch live as scientists at CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research, conduct a test of transporting volatile antimatter. As scientists understand the universe today, for every type particle that exists, there is a corresponding antiparticle, exactly matching the particle but with an opposite charge. If those opposites come into contact, they “annihilate” each other, setting off lots of energy, depending on the masses involved. So experts at CERN, over the course of four hours Tuesday, brought about 100 antiprotons on the road. #antimatter #live #science #physics
