Warp 9 - engage

Scientists have captured antimatter atoms for the first time. From http://articles.cnn.com/2010-11-18/world/switzerland.cern.antimatter_1_antihydrogen-matter-and-antimatter-cern?_s=PM:WORLD
Researchers at CERN, the Geneva-based particle physics laboratory, have managed to confine single antihydrogen atoms in a magnetic trap.
[...]

To trap just 38 atoms, they had to run the experiment 335 times, says Nature which published the report findings.
Wahoo. One step closer to Star Trek,  that glorious socialist self-improving society in space. Next up, warp drive powered by matter/anti-matter reaction.
