Antimatter atoms are corralled even longer

Scientists have succeeded in trapping atoms of anti-hydrogen for more than 15 minutes.

The feat is a big improvement on efforts reported last year that could corral this mirror of normal hydrogen for just fractions of a second at best.

The researchers tell Nature Physics journal that they can now probe the properties of antimatter in detail.
