Scientists transport antiprotons in a truck for the first time
Original: 🚛✨ # Antimatter survives roadtrip In March 2026, the international research collaboration # BASE , in which GSI/FAIR is
The international BASE research collaboration, which includes GSI/FAIR, achieved a milestone at CERN in March 2026: 92 antiprotons were transported in a mobile trap without any loss, effectively surviving a road trip. It is the first time antimatter particles have been moved this way, opening possibilities for precision measurements and antimatter experiments at facilities beyond CERN.
Why now: Transporting antimatter outside a laboratory without losing any particles is a world first and a significant physics achievement
