Although they made antimatter they couldn’t store it, because the anti-atoms touched the ordinary-matter walls of the experiments within millionths of a second after forming and were instantly annihilated-completely destroyed by conversion to energy and other particles. Large quantities of antihydrogen atoms were first made at CERN eight years ago by two other teams.
