#Antimatter traveled by truck for the first time
The 92 #antiproton particles, created at European particle physics laboratory #CERN in Geneva, traveled about eight kilometers to another site within the lab before the trap was delivered, contents intact.
This followed a test with #protons in 2024, part of effort called BASE-STEP. Eventually, #scientists hope to use #BASESTEP’s technology to bring antiprotons from CERN to facilities around #Europe.

Antimatter traveled by truck for the first time

Scientists are envisioning an antimatter delivery program that could ferry antiprotons from CERN to other labs around Europe.

I have discovered a new element.

It has 13.4 protons, 8 neutrons, and 13 to 14 elections.

Every time that it gains or loses an electron, the element switches charge, which happens every 45 minutes, unless David Muir is doing the news. Then they remain stable for the duration, so as to not interrupt.

The protons and neutrons are made up of q-arks, which come in 2 flavors: strangers and things.

I call this new element Redicu-lisium.
