For the first time ever, the transport of unbonded protons was done across the CERN site, a big step towards portable #antimatter.

CERN’s #AntimatterFactory is the only place in the world where scientists can store and study antiprotons. But scientists at the BASE experiment hope to change this state of matter with an apparatus designed to store and transport antimatter.

Last week, a team of BASE #scientists and engineers took an important step towards this goal by transporting a cloud of 70 protons in a truck across the CERN site.
