Congrats on the great work by our physics antimatter research colleagues @SwanseaUni on their gravity measurement of anti-hydrogen @CERN

Reported today in @Nature and featured on the @BBCNews by @BBCPallab 👇🏻

“In a gravitational field, it turns out, antiparticles fall just like the rest of us,” @overbye writes. That’s bad news if you were hoping to levitate using antimatter. Good news is, the result confirms theorists’ predictions. https://t.co/LMtHw32d9s

Physicists have shown that, like everything else experiencing gravity, antimatter falls downwards when dropped.

Observing this simple phenomenon had eluded physicists for decades. https://t.co/9Z9S9FNnGb

[Physics World @PhysicsWorld]

Freefall experiment @CERN shows that antimatter falls down, rather than up https://t.co/awDZrFiAbY

What happens if you drop an anti-apple?

In a paper published today in @Nature, the ALPHA collaboration at CERN’s Antimatter Factory shows that, within the precision of their experiment, atoms of antihydrogen – a positron orbiting an antiproton – fall to Earth in the same way as their matter equivalents.

This result is a milestone in the study of the properties and behaviour of antimatter.

Does antimatter fall up or down? #UCalgary physicists observe first gravitational free-fall of antimatter, with findings published in @Nature https://t.co/UFr2ijhQcF

@swanseaphysics @SwanseaPhysoc Always a great event, good to see it move online!

Exciting news: Swansea Uni Physics antihydrogen team and the ALPHA collaboration have successfully taken laser cooling to fresh territory by applying it to antimatter.  The ground breaking experiment has made the cover of Nature. Well done!@UKRI_News @CERN @SwanseaUni @nature 1/2

Dr. Timothy Friesen and Dr. Robert Ian Thompson, physicists from @UofC_Science, have had a paper regarding their study on antimatter make the latest cover of @nature magazine: https://t.co/IamSzsZSwl #UCalgary

A whistleblower at ICE today exposed that mass hysterectomies are being performed on detained immigrants. If it sounds like a horror show, that's because it is. Gender oppression has a direct correlation with authoritarianism. This is beyond. The vicious cruelty is staggering.

One thing I’ve noticed since moving back to Wales is that we, as a nation, absolutely love a dragon. We’ll stick one on absolutely anything, it doesn’t even need to look like the one on the flag 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿. In fact, the wonkier the better. A thread:
