Number 297 (Story #1), November 27, 1996 by Phillip F. Schewe and Ben Stein FERMILAB HAS MADE ANTIHYDROGEN ATOMS . Comparable to CERN's experiment of a year ago (Update 253), the Fermilab effort involves sending a beam of antiprotons through a gas jet. In collisions with atoms in the jet electron- positron pairs are sometimes made, and in rare cases the positron will bond with the antiproton to form an antihydrogen atom. Unfortunately, it is not possible in this kind of arrangement to capture and study the anti-atoms. (Fermilab press release, 21 November.)
