This new research, undertaken by the ALPHA experiment at CERN's Antiproton Decelerator (AD) in Geneva, is the first time that the electric charge of an anti-atom has been measured to high precision.
"So far, the only way we know whether we've caught an anti-atom is to turn off the magnet," says Fajans.
Summary: Scientists have claimed a breakthrough towards solving one of the biggest riddles of physics, trapping an "anti-atom" for the first time.
Her assiduous attention to such detail made me genuinely disappointed she could not document the 'Rolf Schroers Affair', for instance, which erupted after Richter discovered in 1959 that his associate in the 'Anti-Atom Bewegung' had possibly participated in the shooting of Italian Partisans.

Scientists there are using a machine which can produce an anti-atom which is in turn used by scientists to probe the differences between matter and anti-matter to find out if these elements played a part in the start of the universe.
In a study of quantum phenomena and physical problems, Nesvizhevsky and Voronin discuss the wave nature of microscopic objects like neutrons, atoms, and anti-atoms, which they manifest while bouncing on surfaces in a gravitational field.
As there is no antimatter in the universe it has to be made, which means that one must supply all the energy to make it, and so only tiny amounts (on the order of thousands of anti-atoms) can be made.
