CDF collaboration at Fermilab announces most precise ever measurement of W boson mass to be in tension with the Standard Model

Posted by in categories: nuclear energy, particle physics

The discovery changes our understanding of everything. The world of physics may have been turned on its head.


“While this is an intriguing result, the measurement needs to be confirmed by another experiment before it can be interpreted fully,” said Fermilab Deputy Director Joe Lykken.

The W boson is a messenger particle of the weak nuclear force. It is responsible for the nuclear processes that make the sun shine and particles decay. Using high-energy particle collisions produced by the Tevatron collider at Fermilab, the CDF collaboration collected huge amounts of data containing W bosons from 1985 to 2011.

New anti-aging research enables human cells to “time jump” 30 years

Posted by in categories: biotech/medical, life extension

A team of researchers have found a way to “time jump” cells back 30 years. A team of researchers at the Babraham Institute, a partner organization of the University of Cambridge, UK, have made a breakthrough in regenerative medicine. Just published in the journal eLife, the team shows how they managed to turn back the clock 30 years for human skin cells.


A new regenerative medicine technique has been developed that can make old human cells 30 years younger without losing specialization.

Rocket Lab to attempt first mid-air helicopter capture of Electron rocket

Posted by in category: space travel

Interesting vehicle.


New Zealand and U.S.-based aerospace company Rocket Lab announced that during its next Electron launch, a commercial rideshare mission currently scheduled for later this month, the company will attempt a mid-air helicopter capture of the Electron launch vehicle for the first time. This will further the company’s program to make Electron the first reusable orbital small launch vehicle.

Rocket Lab’s 26th Electron launch, the “There and Back Again” mission, has a 14-day launch window scheduled to commence on April 19, 2022. Electron will lift off from Pad A at Launch Complex 1 on New Zealand’s Māhia Peninsula and will carry 34 payloads from different commercial operators to Earth’s low orbit.
