Fantastically expensive and hard to handle, the substance holds the key to a holy grail of science. And experts at Cern now know how to transport it

    Bullshit dangerous. If something goes wrong, there’s a few joules of Gamma radiation in the box and that’s it.

      Seems they were using the premise of Angels and Demons to make it ‘entertaining’.

    I thought we were only able to produce antimatter in minuscule amounts. How the hell does anyone have a “truckload“ of it?

      it’s cause you need an entire truck of scientific instruments to contain it.

        That’s what I figured, but that doesn’t really mean there’s a “a truckload” of antimatter, just in antimatter containment equipment. The actual amount of antimatter is probably very tiny.

          The headline is misleading clickbait, unfortunately.

      It is a load on a truck. Therefore, it is a truckload.

    It’s like Tenet. I think we’re in the front wards bit but it is hard to tell
