For those of you, like myself, who only know about antimatter from science fiction and space opera, here's the key statement:
Here we show that antihydrogen atoms, released from magnetic confinement in the ALPHA-g apparatus, behave in a way consistent with gravitational attraction to the Earth. Repulsive ‘antigravity’ is ruled out in this case.
