Antimatter trapped for 16 Minutes!!

Came across this yesterday. Scientist have been able to trap animatter for up to 16 minutes now.

Scientists said Sunday they had trapped and stored antihydrogen atoms for a record 16 minutes, a stunning technical feat that promises deeper insights into the mysteries of antimatter.

this is exciting, as now they can configure experiments to do, and it will be the first time people have been able to really study antimatter.

The ability to store bits of antimatter for a quarter of an hour -- far longer that researchers expected -- could also provide a new way to measure how they are influenced by gravity, Hangst added.

Exciting times we live in!!

This is brilliant! Way of the future! - I hate to put a downer on this but how long do you think before the first anti-matter bomb comes to be? :/

Good job!
