They've successfully created and manipulated Anti-matter at the CERN laboratories:

i'm off to get a crowbar, who knows what they'll make next?

might get a tinfoil hat too while I'm at it!

Edit: Removed previous comment as fully read article now.

Love science over here, would love to be clever enough to work at CERN.

I for one welcome our new anti-lizardmen overlords!

This all better lead to something good. Like an amazing new renewable energy source.

I'm sure after this discovery 'Mr Fusion' is just a few years away!

CERN = Win

Cant wait to see what these guys do next.

Antimatter trapped for the first time.

Get ready for that warp drive spaceship, because we are now one step closer to it. After creating antihydrogen in their antiproton decelerator, scientists at CERN have been able to trap antimatter for the first time in history.

Can't fault that.

I was watching this documentary that was taking the film Angels & Demons apart and they were talking to CERN Scientists about the weapon they use in it.
They said it would take millions of years to collect the anti-matter that was in the bomb in the film.

Thanks, so I was nowhere near with millions of years but it's actually billions of years.

I searched for CERN and found it but hadn't noticed it was posted here before anyway. I'll ask for them to be merged.

It's nice to see that there is progress being made with the LHC.

It will be the "Hyphen" that made my search miss that thread.

Some of the lecturers at Swansea University are involved in this.
On Thursday morning our usual Condensed Matter Physics lecture consisted of the lecturer boasting about their achievement and explaining how it all worked
