In its second antimatter breakthrough this month, CERN announced it successfully created the first-ever antimatter qubit, paving the way to even weirder quantum experiments.
We have this incredibly expensive machine that was made by incredible engineers and scientists who spent an ungodly amount of hours on it. And their solution to some kind of problem with the machine, was to wrap a part in kitchengrade alu-foil, probably from the employee kitchen.
The Voyager spacecrafts had some of their wires wrapped in, cleaned, store bought aluminum foil after a last minute change in the expected environment around Jupiter.
I love shit like that.
