Oh, never let it be said I think this research is pointless. Just because we won't have Warp Cores and Photon Torpedos out of the deal doesn't mean this stuff isn't insanely useful. The technology they created to safely contain antimatter for extended periods could be extended into quantum computing, for example. See, one of the big problems with quantum computing is random elementary particles going passing through your computer and "observing" the spins so that they stop being capable of holding several pieces of information at a time. A way to successfully screen out such would help lead to a massive breakthrough in computing power.
