this feels like the most “humans just *do things*” headline ever. I swear if we tried to pull this off in New York we’d hit a pothole and blow a gigantic hole in Queens. https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-026-00950-w

@joeycastillo 92 antiprotons will annihilate with 92 protons and result in 0.2766 ergs — less that the explosion of a cube of TNT 1.6 microns on a side. 1/6th the kinetic energy of a flying mosquito. The energy to lift a 70 μg eyelash hair 4 cm.

So, just barely a human relatable amount of energy.
