Re: [Phys-l] Anti-Matter: anti-Atom Trapped for a Perceptible period.



From: WC Maddox

AUBURN - An international team of scientists including Auburn University physics professor Francis Robicheaux has trapped and held the antimatter version of the hydrogen atom for the first time in history. The team's breakthrough could test fundamental physics. The journal Nature published the results of the experiment Nov. 17.

Auburn, Ala. -- The No. 1-ranked Auburn football team will play No. 2 Oregon in the Tostitos BCS National Championship game on Monday, Jan. 10, 2011 at 7:30 p.m. CT at the University of Phoenix Stadium in Glendale, Ariz. It will mark the first time that the Tigers (13-0) and Ducks (12-0) have met.

Few people here know about the first item. Probably everyone here knows about the second and many wish they could be at the bowl game rather than here on the first day of classes in January.
