Precise measurements of the motions of antiprotons and protons suggest that antimatter responds to gravity in the same way as matter. The experiment was done at CERN by the international BASE collaboration and involved trapping antiprotons and negative hydrogen ions using electric and magnetic fields. The measurements also provide the best confirmation yet that the antiproton conforms to certain aspects of the Standard Model of particle physics.

Researchers have developed a new way of generating extremely short pulses of visible light using a simple, commercially-available laser system. The innovative approach, which exploits nonlinear effects in glass fibres that transmit light beams with different spatial profiles, could make it easier and cheaper to study ultrafast phenomena such as photosynthesis in plants, the dynamics of electron-hole pairs in semiconductors and the chemistry of human vision.
