Antimatter Trapped For 16 Minutes

Scientists Have Revealed That They Are Very Close To Capture Antimatter, the universe's strange and elusive "twin" version of mass and To Keep it for long Durations.


Atoms of antimatter,Atoms Of Anti Hydrogen have been trapped and stored an international team of scientists working at CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research near Geneva, Switzerland For more Than A Thousand Seconds .I Read In a Article that's It Was About Quarter Hour Showing us The Possible Thing Of Capturing and Enclosing It in a Bottle Which Was Considered Almost impossible Few Years Ago.


Until This Misconception Was Proved To Be Wrong When Scientists working on the big bang machine in Geneva have done the seemingly impossible: create, capture and release antimatter.


Back in Time ,Last Year November Same Scientists Were The First Evert To Trap Anti Hydrogen .They were able to preserve the antimatter atoms for one-tenth of a second.(172 Seconds ).The researchers created 38 anti hydrogen atoms.

Though it Was Small Amount Of Time but It was Significant Enough To Drive us Into New Possibilities And Stepping into A New Age of Science.

Capturing the antimatter always disappeared quickly, annihilating itself on first contact with any speck of "real" matter in a burst of energy.

For Decades Physicists Have Been Trying To trap antimatter to perform detailed experiments on its properties and The Existence Of Universe And Un Answered Questions Of Universe.


But studying this antimatter was not easy. When an antiparticle of any kind meets its matter counterpart, the pair annihilate each other in a small but fierce burst of energy. An atom of anti hydrogen, consisting of a positron and an anti proton, would instantly vanish upon contact with any matter. The only way to store antimatter, then, is to keep it in a High magnetic field.
Until very recently, that meant that only subatomic antiparticles could be stored and studied because only charged antiparticles, anti protons and positrons, can be manipulated by a magnetic field. Whole atoms do not have an electric charge and so magnets were of limited use.
 With This Achievement We Can Finally Be Understand The universe And It Could Solve The Energy Problems as we Antimatter Energy Can Be Used To As Alternative power Source Like Shown in Movies Like To Give Warp in Star Trek And Star Wars, We Could Power the Entire City .Lets Hope For Peaceful and Better Future !!
