Scientists Will Soon Drop Antimatter to See How It Behaves in Gravity

The scientists at CERN want to learn why only one billionth of the matter in the world is anti-matter, and just how it really differs from its positive counterpart. The name of the unit studying the particles is interesting. ALPHA.

ALPHA [the Antihydrogen Laser Physics Apparatus], for example, will soon be upgraded with equipment that will allow it to drop antihydrogen atoms to see whether they interact with gravity differently than hydrogen atoms do.
