CERN physicists measure mass oscillation of neutral charm mesons

Physics World

The LHCb collaboration at CERN in Geneva has observed and measured a crucial oscillation in the measured mass of neutral charm mesons arising from the particles changing into their antiparticles and back again. Although the detection is fully consistent with the Standard Model of particle physics, it could provide a “very clean” window into physics beyond the Standard Model in future experiments, the researchers say.

‘Slidetronics’ makes its debut

Physics World

Researchers have discovered a novel way of switching the polarization of an ultrathin ferroelectric material. The mechanism, dubbed “slidetronics” because it occurs when adjacent atomic layers in the material slide across each other, could be an efficient alternative way of controlling tiny electronic devices. Being able to switch electrical polarization over small areas is key for modern technologies such as hard disk drives that store and retrieve large volumes of information.

Using Ag Data to Prove Crop Damage in Court

JANZEN AG

Farmers are given many reasons to collect ag data about their farming practices, but using that data in court rarely one of them. However, at a recent trial about crop damage, we proved just how useful ag data can be to help a court understand complex. Our case involved a lake dam that had been mismanaged by the Indiana Department of Natural Resources (DNR).
