I first learned about #antimatter from the classic #DoctorWho serial Planet of Evil, where the #FourthDoctor informed my childhood self that, "Antimatter in collision with matter causes radiation annihilation. A release of energy more powerful than nuclear fission!"

Now my office overlooks the Antimatter Factory at #CERN. Earlier this week, the BASE experiment moved antimatter for the first time ever in a special transportable ion trap.
