This is cool. It’s very small amounts. The key issue is that they are making antimatter at CERN but the magnetic fields at CERN impede studying/analysing it. Checking in with a nearby physicist, the amount is so small that even in the worse case it would be unlikely to set off a radiation detector. In return for this sagesse, I was subjected to several witticisms on the detectable rate of decay in the bananas we have awaiting to be turned into banana bread. |

I love that "banana for scale" is also applicable to radioactivity. |

They're making such progress! It wasn't that long ago that storing antimatter for a few minutes was a big achievement, let alone transporting it |

I was just about to post this! Now I really want to know if Data's neural network was banana powered. |

I was just about to post this! Now I really want to know if Data's neural network was banana powered. "If one crunches the numbers (as they do in the original article), it turns out that bananas pop out a positron every 75 minutes or so."
From the Memory Alpha wiki:
So, you could probably derive some of the organic components from bananas, but generally no. He's not really banana-powered. |
