Walter Oelert led the team of researchers who produced the world’s first atoms of antihydrogen in 1995

The GBAR experiment at CERN has just joined the very select club of experiments that have succeeded in synthesising antihydrogen atoms

New technique for producing antihydrogen atoms is important milestone for measuring influence of gravity on antimatter

The measurements are consistent with predictions for “normal” matter and pave the way for future precision studies

The Antiproton Decelerator will see refurbishment work that will help its experiments to trap more antimatter than before

With the connection between ELENA and GBAR already in place, the commissioning of the decelerator with antiprotons is about to begin

The ALPHA experiment at CERN’s Antiproton Decelerator reports the first observation of the hyperfine structure of antihydrogen

What is the effect of gravity on antimatter? A new experiment at CERN is preparing to join the quest to find the answer to this question in physics

In September 1995 physicists at CERN synthesised the first antihydrogen atoms, paving the way for today’s growing antimatter research
