NSF Antimatter Alpha Experiment @ CERNIs Antimatter also Anti-Gravity?
Landmark CERN experiment answers longstanding question of whether antimatter is gravitationally attracted or repelled
If you dropped some antimatter, would it fall down or up?
Scientists now know the definitive answer: down. That is, if you can somehow prevent it from exploding into pure energy long enough to see where it goes.
To effectively communicate the scientists’ discovery, my challenge was to find the optimal presentation strategy. After numerous in-depth conversations, we opted against the time-consuming and expensive route of visualizing the complex ALPHA-g apparatus. Instead, I pioneered a transparent and simplified visual style, allowing us to minimize distracting technical details and concentrate entirely on the crucial insight: how individual antihydrogen atoms behave once the magnetic trap is released. This impactful visualization was highly praised by scientists at CERN and widely disseminated across leading news outlets and scientific platforms.
