Geneva 17 November 2010, Large Hadron Collider, CERN: “Antihydrogen atoms are produced in a vacuum at CERN, but are nevertheless surrounded by normal matter. Because matter and antimatter annihilate when they meet, the antihydrogen atoms have a very short life expectancy. This can be extended, however, by using strong and complex magnetic fields to trap them and thus prevent them from coming into contact with matter. The ALPHA experiment has shown that it is possible to hold on to atoms of antihydrogen in this way for about a tenth of a second: easily long enough to study them. Of the many thousands of antiatoms the experiment has created, ALPHA’s latest paper reports that 38 have been trapped for long enough to study.” This is extraordinary news. If we have been able not only to produce but also capture antimatter using magnetic fields, we may indeed have come one step closer to interstellar space flight. Production and storage of antimatter could potentially lead to using antimatter to fuel a craft: if such could be achieved it would be potentially the most efficient form of space travel possible (aside from wormhole technology). This is pretty cool, especially considering the recent discovery of many extrasolar earth-like planets by the Kepler space telescope.
