Antimatter Reacts to Gravity in the Same Way as Ordinary Matter, Physicists Find
In the 95 years we’ve known about antimatter, physicists have not tested how the elusive inverse of ordinary matter is affected by gravity, the force that pulls masses to Earth and seems to affect all things in the classical realm. Now, a group of physicists have. Members of the Antihydrogen Laser Physics Apparatus (ALPHA) collaboration…

Scientists Will Transport Antimatter In A Truck
The antimatter of science fiction vastly differs from the real-life antimatter of particle physics. The former powers spaceships or bombs, while the latter is just another particle that physicists study, one that happens to be the mirror image with the opposite charge of the more familiar particles.
