[/quote] No. Antimatter and matter annihilate producing gamma radiation. [/quote] THERE IS NO WAY TO CONTAIN ANTI MATTER [/quote] Wrong. There are multiple ways to contain antimatter dumbass. If there weren't any way to do so PET scan machines couldn't work as they require a supply of positrons to do the imaging that they do. [b]Positrons are anti protons.[/b] The AF though has long since moved past needing to store them since they discovered a method of creating a beyond unity method of creating positrons on demand that causes a Cascade effect giving far more positrons than should be possible given the input power levels. There's nothing particularly unsafe about this experiment especially given the extremely tiny amounts of antimatter I question. It's amazing though how many people on here speak so authoritatively on subjects they obviously know fuckall about [/quote] Positrons are NOT anti-protons! Positrons have the mass of an electron with a positive charge. Anti-Protons have the mass of a proton with a negative charge. They can make anti-matter with reversed charges relative to normal matter that will annihilate in the presence of normal matter. [/quote]

"In a project that began last month, researchers will transport antimatter by truck and then use it to study the strange behaviour of rare radioactive nuclei."
