By Pallab Ghosh (BBC) Science correspondent Scientists have made a key discovery about antimatter - a mysterious substance which was plentiful when the Universe began.

For years, physicists have been scrambling to discover their differences and similarities, to explain how the Universe arose. Discovering that antimatter rose in response to gravity, instead of falling would have blown apart what we know about physics. They've now confirmed for the first time that atoms of antimatter fall downwards. But far from being a scientific dead end this opens the doors to new experiments and theories. Does it fall at the same speed, for example? During the Big Bang, matter a...
