Antimatter produced
Scientists at CERN have managed to produce and trap antimatter atoms.
Because matter and antimatter annihilate when they meet, the antihydrogen atoms have a very short life expectancy. This can be extended, however, by using strong and complex magnetic fields to trap them and thus prevent them from coming into contact with matter.
