Saw this on the Fediverse so also sharing here,  sounds pretty good to me,  and if this gives more institutions access to anti matter for research that is a good thing.

The most dangerous delivery truck? How a lorry-load of antimatter will help solve secrets of universe

https://www.theguardian.com/science/2024/dec/08/cern-antimatter-secrets-universe-science

Does anyone know where more information can be found about this, Or can they share if anything is found.

Hope this is interesting anyway

Hyperbole

There isn’t going to be a dangerous amount of antimatter on the truck, which the article points out.

”the quantities of antimatter carried will be insufficient to make an explosion of any recognisable nature.”

The truck is needed because of the bulky nature of the containment vessel, not because there’s a macroscopic amount of antimatter

Hence i was hoping to find a better source of info than a paper article,   I agree with what you're saying,
