So, seeing that now protonium is not only verified, but producible in non-trivial amounts, and given that protonium atoms are bosons of zero charge...

Protonium Bose-Einstein condensate, anyone? Might be an interesting way to keep the matter/anti-matter from annihilating, at macroscopic quantities, by keeping it in a single superpositional state.

Oops, I just invented the antimatter bomb. So sorry.
