[5.8] Scientists successfully transport antimatter in a truck at CERN — nos.nl (Dutch) (+6)

Scientists at CERN successfully transported antimatter by truck for the first time, marking a breakthrough that enables moving these volatile particles to external laboratories for advanced precision research.

The test utilized a specialized one-ton container carrying 92 antiprotons suspended in electromagnetic fields at extreme sub-zero temperatures. This technology prevents the particles from annihilating upon contact with regular matter during transit, ensuring they remain stable despite the truck's movement.

Future trips to sites like Düsseldorf aim to investigate why matter dominates the universe. Researchers are now developing long-range power sources to support the ten-hour journeys required for international transport.

[6.2] Australia and the EU finalize comprehensive trade agreement after eight years of negotiations — rfi.fr (+56)

The European Union and Australia signed a landmark free-trade agreement Tuesday, concluding eight years of negotiations to diversify markets and secure critical mineral supplies amid rising global trade tensions.

The deal increases Australian beef exports while resolving disputes over protected geographical names like prosecco and feta. Additionally, both parties established a security partnership to enhance defense cooperation and reduce economic over-reliance on major powers like China for essential raw materials.

EU officials estimate regional exports will grow significantly, while the pact could boost Australia’s GDP by billions. The agreement addresses energy vulnerabilities and supply chain risks exacerbated by the ongoing Middle East conflict.
