For California to meet its climate goals and bring down prices on basic needs like housing, transportation and energy, it will need to dramatically increase infill housing, transit and clean energy facilities, among other projects. Part of achieving that goal involves reforming how environmental review under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) can counter-productively slow permitting for this needed deployment.

Arrays of superconducting wires have been used to detect beams of high-energy charged particles. Much thinner wires are already used to detect single photons, but this latest incarnation uses thicker wires that can absorb the large amounts of energy carried by fast-moving protons, electrons, and pions. The new detector was created by an international team led by Cristián Peña at Fermilab.
