While in the sci-fi world it powers warp drives, here in the frustrating confines of reality we still haven’t figured out how to harness it. But thanks to some mad scientists at the Large Hadron Collider, now we know what antimatter…

Scientists Trap Antimatter For A Record Breaking 16 Minutes
Scientists working on the Antihydrogen Laser Physics Apparatus (ALPHA) near Geneva, Switzerland did something no other scientists have done. They stored atoms of antihydrogen for 1000 seconds (~16 minutes) which is 10,000 times longer than they’ve ever done before. By trapping and observing antimatter for that long, scientists can better understand the properties of it.
