Antimatter bomb

On October 18, 2008, Nature reported that US military scientists have developed a new way to produce antimatter, reducing the cost of producing one millionth of a gram of antimatter from US $1 billion to US $100 million. This means that the United States antimatter bomb research has made a major breakthrough. In 1983, the US RAND Corporation spent $2 million to conduct a feasibility study for the US Air Force on the technology to produce 10 trillion antiprotons per second and the feasibility study of using this technology to make a "proton bomb". The U.S. military has been secretly developing antimatter-based "proton bombs" for 25 years at a cost of more than $60 billion. In July 1989, the European Organization for Nuclear Physics (CERN) "captured" the antiproton for the first time, and its generation rate reached 10 million antiprotons per second, but because the test conditions were not stable enough, the antiproton only kept for about 10 minutes.
