antihydrogen

"We just wanted to have fun and see if you could make antihydrogen," he said.

These techniques are being used in all efforts to produce and study cold antihydrogen.

As rocket fuel, of course, a little antihydrogen would go a long way.

So keeping them around for longer is essential if we're going to study antihydrogen in its native state.

According to the new entry we only had enough antihydrogen to blow the station."

That's the first step toward creating and storing antihydrogen.

Like normal matter, antihydrogen can bond and form molecules with other antimatter.

None of those machines would run without antihydrogen.

The trap used to catch the antihydrogen is the same one used in the last experiment.

At its Alpha experiment, scientists trapped 38 antihydrogen atoms for around half a second.

"This would provide the first ever look inside the structure of antihydrogen - element number one on the anti-periodic table."

Cern's capture of antihydrogen this week will bring those experiments closer to reality.

After preparation, a high-resolution detector confirms that antihydrogen was created.

The antiparticles are then led into a recombination trap to create antihydrogen.

Scientists are developing two strategies for making antihydrogen.

"Maybe, but on my chip it meant touching the antihydrogen, thus courting disaster."

"After all," he continued with a trace of smugness, "antihydrogen is quite valuable where you come from."

For example, any violation of the expected symmetry between hydrogen and antihydrogen would rock physics to its core.

Like you think I pay for antihydrogen.

We will die if we don't get more antihydrogen."

"As for your move affording no real cost to the Commonwealth, you gave away a year's supply of antihydrogen.

"Where do you get your supply of antihydrogen?

But even for research experiments, antiprotons - the building blocks from which antihydrogen would have to be assembled - are very expensive.

The new Nature letter describes how to overcome the difficulty of containing antihydrogen so that it isn't immediately destroyed.

These two antiparticles are then allowed to mix and, if this is done at low enough energies, they combine to form antihydrogen.
