No direct measurements exist, however, that prove they do. UC Berkeley scientists, part of the ALPHA collaboration at CERN, are working on just such an experiment and have some very rough results.]]> http://newscenter.berkeley.edu/2013/04/30/is-antimatter-anti-gravity/feed/ 0 http://physicsworld.com/cws/article/news/44618 http://physicsworld.com/cws/article/news/44618#comments Mon, 20 Dec 2010 20:09:16 +0000 Public Affairs http://dev-newscenter.berkeley.edu/?p=3050 The magazine Physics World named the trapping of antihydrogen by a team that included UC Berkeley physicists the 2010 Breakthrough of the Year. The ALPHA team shared the honor with another team that successfully focused a beam of antihydrogen atoms at CERN.]]> http://physicsworld.com/cws/article/news/44618/feed/ 0
