Since then, researchers have sought a method for making more antimatter, which would allow them to test fundamental theories of the universe. A team led by Gerald Gabrielse, Harvard professor of physics, is close to making a mass of antihydrogen atoms. These atoms would be trapped in a special apparatus where they can be held long enough to accurately measure their properties. How close is the team to achieving its goal?</p> <p><a href="http://harvardscience.harvard.edu/engineering-technology/articles/why-antimatter-matters-so-much">read more</a></p> Mon, 26 Mar 2007 05:15:21 -0400 70652986 3028 at http://harvardscience.harvard.edu
