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. nyti.ms/3LDp9OC

Physicists have shown that, like everything else experiencing gravity, antimatter falls downwards when dropped.
Observing this simple phenomenon had eluded physicists for decades. go.nature.com/3EVIjLY

Freefall experiment @CERN shows that antimatter falls down, rather than up ow.ly/8I7I50PQfMG

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 bit.ly/46rVOP7

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

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.

Today is #ShutDownSTEM / #Strike4BlackLives day, so let’s talk about what’s going so wrong in UK physics. Of *all* the physics academics in the UK, 𝟬.𝟭% are Black. (IOP, 2012) iop.org/publications/iop/201…
Today we #Strike4BlackLives. Organised by physicists including @iamstarnord & @IBJIYONGI this is a day to #ShutDownAcademia & #ShutDownSTEM in solidarity w Black colleagues, Black students & Black people who are excluded from academia (📸: shutdownstem) 1/
