Antimatter destroys normal matter on contact, so transporting it sounds impossible. But scientists at CERN moved tiny amounts of antiprotons using a special container that keeps them suspended in a vacuum using electromagnetic fields, so they never touch the walls.
This recent experiment transported about 100 antiprotons by truck as a test. The particles were kept stable using supercooled magnets and precise conditions.
The goal is to safely move antimatter between labs for high precision experiments in physics.
