Francesco Guatieri and his team repurposed regular phone #photosensors to create an #antimatter sensor for #CERN with 35 times better real-time resolution than any previous sensors of its kind: https://go.tum.de/816290

Antimatter is influenced by gravity in the same way as matter 
Matter is subject to gravitational attraction. Einstein’s general relativity had predicted that antimatter also should fall to Earth in the same way............

The consensus is that any laboratory #mass must be attracted by the Earth, although some authors have considered the #cosmological consequences if #antimatter should be repelled by #matter.

In the general theory of relativity, the weak equivalence principle requires that all masses react identically to #gravity.

Here we show that #antihydrogen atoms behave in a way consistent with gravitational attraction to the Earth.

Repulsive #antigravity is ruled out.
