    I found this.

    A major new form of propulsion has just graduated from thenever-never land of science fiction and has now become a serioustopic for scientific and engineering investigation. In the pastit was called antimatter propulsion, but to emphasize thedifference between past fiction and present reality, I prefer tocall it antiproton annihilation propulsion

    The idea was much expanded with pictures in popular science many months ago. As long as you can collect, bottle up anti-protons and safely transport it to the rocket engine....

    Good idea, I think long way off...

    One of the current uses for antimatter is the new anti-amatter microscope.
