Article written and/or translated by ChatGPT, here's the tell:
...and positronium could be the key, according to Lisa Gloggler, a Phd student working on the project.

''Positronium is such a simple system. It consists 50% of matter and 50% of antimatter," said Lisa Gloggler, the Phd student.

Isn't this particle-antiparticle pair ("positronium", right) exactly what we were always told was impossible? I thought the whole point of antimatter was that when a particle met its antiparticle like this, they did not go into a death spiral, but immediately annihilated each other in a fun photonic flash?
