Switzerland Antimatter Detector
U.S. army personnel and employees of the Geneva airport load the giant Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer (AMS) of the European Particle Physics laboratory (CERN) on board a US Air Force C-5 Galaxy transport plane at Geneva International Airport in Geneva, Switzerland, Wednesday Aug. 25, 2010. The 7.5-ton (8.3 U.S.-ton) device was built by scientists at the European Center for Nuclear Research, or CERN, on the Swiss-French border. Lead scientist Sam Ting said Wednesday the device will be docked to the International Space Station for 20 years to collect evidence of antimatter, dark matter and other phenomena.
