I thought we were only able to produce antimatter in minuscule amounts. How the hell does anyone have a “truckload“ of it?

it's cause you need an entire truck of scientific instruments to contain it.

That’s what I figured, but that doesn’t really mean there’s a “a truckload” of antimatter, just in antimatter containment equipment. The actual amount of antimatter is probably very tiny.

The headline is misleading clickbait, unfortunately.
