CERN scientists successfully transported antiprotons by truck for the first time, suspending them in a vacuum within a specially designed magnetic trap. This four-hour test journey, including a half-hour drive, aimed to assess the safe movement of these fragile particles. The experiment is a crucial step towards enabling antiproton research at other institutions.
