Physicists hold a single antimatter particle for a month
Original: antimatter
Physicists have trapped a single antiproton for a month, a new record in antimatter storage, according to Scientific American. The achievement gives researchers an unprecedented window to study antimatter's properties, including whether it obeys gravity the same way matter does. Scientists in Canada, the United States and Britain are following the result closely, as longer storage times could sharpen precision tests that probe why the universe contains so little antimatter.
Why now: A record-setting antimatter trapping experiment has just been reported, drawing wide scientific and public interest.
