In the world of “Star Trek,” the starship Enterprise zips through space using a warp drive that harnesses antimatter. Suffice it to say, such technology remains in the realm of science fiction. But ...

Antimatter has intrigued and confounded physicists for almost a century, and the effect of gravity on antimatter has been a point of disagreement. New research may have settled the debate by finding ...

Physicists working at the CERN particle physics lab said they detected a slight but significant difference in how particles of matter and antimatter decay. By Kenneth Chang Understanding why matter ...

A team of physicists tested how an antimatter behaves when it interacts with gravity. For nearly a century that people know about antimatter, it's only recently that experts discovered that it can ...

It’s official: Antimatter falls down, not up. In a first-of-its-kind experiment, scientists dropped antihydrogen atoms and watched them fall, showing that gravity attracts antimatter toward Earth, ...

Antimatter — the mysterious substance that's the mirror opposite of matter in most ways — falls downward in gravity like everything else in the universe, a team of physicists reported Wednesday in the ...

CERN physicists have shown that antimatter falls downward due to gravity, just like regular matter, according to a new paper published in the journal Nature. It’s not a particularly surprising ...

For various, typically historical reasons, even the best physicists claim things that sound egregious to modern observers. That doesn’t necessarily mean these ideas are completely useless—if anything, ...

Scientists have demonstrated the existence of gravity between antimatter and Earth, reaffirming Albert Einstein’s General Theory of Relativity. It is thought that Isaac Newton's historic work on ...

If you dropped antimatter, would it fall down or up? In a unique laboratory experiment, researchers have now observed the downward path taken by individual atoms of antihydrogen, providing a ...

For the first time, scientists have observed antimatter particles falling under the effect of gravity—a phenomenon that was long theorized but never before seen. The results suggest that antimatter ...
