This month’s cover of #TPT is a Worthington–Edgerton crown produced by a droplet landing on a stagnant liquid surface. “Defying Gravity” was created by students A. Schorr, G. Adam, V. Vo, I. Becker, and J. Cheng as part of their laboratory activities. pubs.aip.org/aapt/pte/issue/…

This month’s cover of #TPT imagines a world with antimatter people being repelled by Earth’s mass, while people made of matter experience gravity as a force of attraction. See article “Does antimatter fall up?” for insights about this fundamental question. ow.ly/myLt50YBSoy
