Not a lot, in terms of practical propulsion, but Centauri Dreams reports that there is progress.

The production of anti-matter is a great industry for space located industry. In fact, would anyone like to live next to a facility where kilograms of anti-matter were being produced or held? If it went "pop" would there be a lot of subsidiary radiation due to neutrons being blown out of their nuclei?
I also worry about the radiation from anti-matter use. Wouldn't there be lots of extremely energetic particles zipping about in your crew cabin?

Hey Antimatter is here now. Microgravity Enterprises is selling it on the internet for $45 a case...
Wonder if this will work?
