CERN has developed a portable containment system to transport antimatter safely over long distances, allowing sharing of antiproton samples with laboratories across Europe.
The container uses superconducting magnets to confine particles and monitors environmental stresses during transit using accelerometers and thermal sensors for safety.
By enabling high-precision experiments at different facilities, the innovation expands collaborative opportunities in fundamental physics.
Laboratories at institutions in Italy, Germany, and France can now request antiproton samples for experiments, marking a significant milestone in antimatter research.
