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.
