### Limits Set: Vector-Like Quark Pair Production

In mid-September of 2022, physicists from the CMS Collaboration at CERN reported new lower limits on vector-like top $$(\text{T})$$ and bottom $$(\text{B})$$ quarks. The analysis offers the strongest identified limits…

### Nuclear Fusion Breakthrough

Scientists at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in California recently had a breakthrough with nuclear fusion, sparking excitement in many. On December 5th of 2022, a nuclear fusion reaction was…

After physicists at CERN restarted the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) for its Run 3 set of data collection in the summer of 2022, new analyses dependent on high-mass mother (decay…

### Reaffirming an Anomaly: Baksan Experiment on Sterile Transitions

Experimental data from the Baksan Experiment on Sterile Transitions (BEST) confirms a deficit of electron neutrinos ($$\nu_e$$) observed in previous radiochemical measurement at the SAGE (1990–2007) and GALLEX (1998–2003) experiments….

### Exotic Observations: LHCb Discovers Pentaquark and Tetraquark Pair

On July 05, 2022, collaborators from Tsinghua University (CN), Università degli Studi (IT), and INFN Milano (IT) presented findings at an LHC seminar with new observations of exotic particles, on…

### LHCb Reports New Observations of CP Asymmetries

New results from the Large Hadron Collider beauty (LHCb) collaboration at CERN were presented at the Rencontres de Moriond Electroweak and a CERN seminar, showing a significant asymmetry between charmless decays…
