CERN's BASE experiment has begun more precise antiproton studies thanks to the recent first-ever truck transport of antimatter around the France-Switzerland site. Spokesperson Stefan Ulmer says moving 92 antiprotons away from production magnets is key to probing why the universe has more matter than antimatter.

Scientists at CERN have successfully transported antimatter by road for the first time, moving 92 antiprotons around a 4-kilometre loop on the laboratory's campus near Geneva, Switzerland. The 20-minute journey on a truck marks a key test for a planned antimatter delivery service across Europe. Researchers say this breakthrough will enable more precise experiments on the elusive particles.
