US EditionScientists find antimatter is subject to gravity
- Researchers have confirmed for the first time that atoms of antimatter fall downwards, challenging what we know about physics. This discovery could potentially change our understanding of the universe.
- The observation of free-falling antimatter provides another confirmation of Einstein's general theory of relativity, which was first proposed over a hundred years ago. This scientific triumph comes after almost three decades of advancements in creating antihydrogen in a lab.
- The research team is planning to upgrade their experiment to enhance sensitivity and investigate if there is a slight difference in the rate at which antimatter falls. This is an important next step that could lead to new breakthroughs in our understanding of physics and the universe.

Physicists: Antimatter responds to gravity like ordinary matter
In the 95 years we’ve known about antimatter, physicists have not tested how the elusive inverse of ordinary matter is affected by gravity, the force that pulls masses to Earth and seems to affect all things in the classical realm.Read more...
