As you know, there seems to be an abundance of matter in the Universe but a baffling lack of antimatter. There is one place however at which man is able to make antimatter for himself: CERN. And for the first time today, a whole batch of antimatter (92 antiprotons, exactly) was loaded onto a truck and transported several kilometers across CERN's campus. Very carefully. This was a test drive for future transfers of antimatter to other laboratories (across Europe, as long as they need to stick to road transport).
