"Dad?"

"Yes son."

"Can you give me ten pounds please?"

"What's it for son?"

"Well dad, Billy Smith at school wants to sell me some anti-matter, and I want to research if it has electrical properties dad."

Very good! The problem to solve is that if you had some anti-matter, what do you put it in? It might be possible to confine it in a magnetic field but this is fairly impractical. The same as the fusion problem, magnetohydrodynamics.

An anti-box; an anti-tin; an anti-bucket; etc?

The usual thing with antimatter is that it only persisted between creation and collision with the laboratory apparatus, typically nanoseconds,

but there have been some noticeable exceptions. where it has been stored for some minutes
