The most precise measurement to date of the mass of the W boson has yielded a result seven standard deviations away from that predicted by the Standard Model of particle physics. The stunning result was obtained by a painstaking analysis of data taken at the Fermilab Tevatron collider in the US before it closed in 2011. The particle physics community must now study the results carefully to work out whether it is an incredible statistical fluke, an unknown experimental error, a flaw in the Standa

In today's industrial landscape, the pursuit of sustainable energy optimization and decarbonization has become paramount. Manufacturing corporations across the U.S. are facing the urgent need to align with decarbonization goals while enhancing efficiency and productivity. Unfortunately, the lack of comprehensive energy data poses a significant challenge for manufacturing managers striving to meet their targets.

In California, communities of color tend to see higher levels of pollution than white communities, but it can be hard to discern the sources of that pollution. The state's Covid-19 stay-at-home orders offered some insight. According to a new study , the near-halt in traffic resulting from the orders revealed the outsized role that cars and trucks have in polluting Hispanic and Asian communities.

Archaeologists have adapted several techniques from physicists and the next one could be the detection of gamma rays in the field. For the first time, a gamma-ray spectrometer has been used in an archaeological setting. The instrument is normally used to identify radioactive contamination on nuclear sites, but now researchers at the University of Reading excavation in Roman Silchester in southern England have used it to find buried buildings and other objects.

The Japanese art form of kirigami has inspired a new heart sensor that can monitor electrical signals from the surface of the skin while being worn for long periods of time. Borrowing from the principles of kirigami, Kuniharu Takei and colleagues at Osaka Prefecture University cut a pattern of holes in an electrode-coated PET film, which allowed the material to conform to the skin’s surface more easily.

Exotic materials known as kagome superconductors can play host to a rare state of matter in which electric currents form “loops” around unit cells in the material’s crystalline lattice. This discovery, made by researchers at Switzerland’s Paul Scherrer Institute ( PSI) together with international collaborators, could reveal new information about how superconductivity emerges in materials where complex effects such as frustrated magnetism and intertwined orders play a major role.
