Anitiprotons and postitrons have has been stored successfully in magnetic containment devices called Penning traps.

As one of the contributors suggested anti-matter is made using cyclotrons of other large particle accelerators. I everyday life anti-matter is produced for P.E.T. scans. Small quantities of positron emitting isotopes Oxygen 15, Fluorine 19 are produced and sometimes labelled onto compounds. The anti electron (positron) annihilates a nearby electron and releases 2 gamma rays at 180 degrees to each other.The energy of the gamma rays obeys Einsteins equation (E=Mc2) and have an energy of 511 Kev. To contain free antimatter magnetic "bottles" are used. Have a look at the proton anti proton work at CERN and it may give you an insight into how difficult it is to store it. I don't think we will be filling up with it in gas stations in the near future.

Anti Matter is harvested easily
When things dont matter anymore, u have harvested anti matter,
Matter of fact.. like my answer is anti matter...it repluses anyone who matters in science.
U can contain anti matter by simply not asking such question to people who dont matter.
Anti matter is what actually doesnt matter, It is also called a D' Mat account.
or does it really matter.

anti-matter has been proven and harvest in a particle accelerator. basically they take atoms and spin almost to the speed of light then crash them together. a byproduct of this is anti-matter such as positrons.
anti-matter is litteraly the opposite of matter. as soon as they contact each other they neutralize. leaving nothing but pure energy
now in saying that you cant contain anti-matter in ways physical ways, but you can use magnets to suspend anti-matter so there is no "bumpin uglies".

"Today a young man on acid realized that all matter is merely energy condensed to a slow vibration, that we are all one consciousness experiencing itself subjectively, there is no such thing as death, life is only a dream, and we are the imagination of ourselves."
Bill Hicks
i dont know how to harvest or contain energy.. sorry.

Anti- matter is basically the opposite of a particle ( i.e. proton and anti-proton).
If these two were to collide, they annihilate each other.

Its something that has not been proven to exist. So we cannot answer all your questions.

Extra! Extra! Read all about it!
And have fun!
PS. what ever you do please do not store antimatter in you cupboard!
