Does antimatter fall to Earth the same way matter does? This question has long perplexed scientists due to antimatter’s rarity, and its tendency to annihilate upon impact with matter. Thanks to advances in GPU technology, researchers at Switzerland’s University of Bern are getting closer to being able to analyze the impact of gravity on antimatter by studying the way particles fall when annihilation occurs. Akitaka Ariga, of the university’s Albert Einstein Center for Fundamental Physics, told attendees during a session at NVIDIA’s GPU Technology Conference Wednesday that conclusive results are just a year or two
