Northwestern University Physicists Trap Single Positron to Test Cosmic Symmetry

According to reporting from Interesting Engineering, a research team led by Gerald Gabrielse successfully suspended a single antimatter particle within a custom electromagnetic vacuum. By chilling the environment to 300 millikelvins, the scientists created a stable quantum cyclot
