Storing Antimatter
The world-class laboratories at Fermilab and CERN have been using accelerators for making, storing and colliding antimatter for over twenty years. Carlo Rubbia and Simon Van der Meer received the Nobel Prize for their contributions to the making, storing and colliding antimatter and discovering the W and Z bosons. Scientists have confirmed the Standard Model that unified the weak and electromagnetic theories into electroweak theory.

Antimatter is storied in a vacuum and electromagnetic fields to keep the antimatter from coming in contact with matter. Making antimatter is extremely expensive. A gram would cost over $60 trillion/gram or twice the World's Gross National Product.
However, comets are natural sources of antimatter and can be economically retrieved from the comets.
