Antimatter atom trapped for first time, say scientists

[ssam]

Lasers, when first invented, were a technology without an application. "We can use them as a weapon", they said. But lasers became useful eventually.

Antimatter is a substance without an application, but when a purpose is found for the stuff, that's when it will be really exciting. And we will use Antimatter for power generation as little as we use lasers as weapons.

+1 (lets hope its not weapons

you could probably count PET scanners as a use for anti-matter

If it's a weapon you want, it'll take a long time, a really long time to be able to develop a technology to suspend in a fast moving container.

It's getting harder and harder for me to separate science-fiction from science-fact...

Anti-matter has been considered "science-fact" for years, it's just that we haven't been able to observe it for very long up until this point.

I thought Al Gore invented the internet...

No, but he did take the initiative in allocating funding to the project, which is also all he ever claimed to have done.

I'm so tired of that myth
