  4. The fine-structure constant alpha ~ 1/137.036 is one of the most precisely measured numbers in physics, yet its origin remains unexplained. A new preprint reframes alpha not as an abstract coupling constant, but as a projective cross-ratio: the classical electron radius divided by the reduced Compton wavelength.

  5. Researchers are utilizing precision measurements of barium monofluoride (BaF) molecules to explore unmapped interactions between electrons and atomic nuclei, yielding new constraints on particles that may constitute dark matter.

  8. On FTL and causality: add new time. Light vortices look a lot like a light cone on a time-space diagram to me.

    Do photons have spin...? Long Covid sucks.

    While we all live in a money-obsessed hellscape, nothing needs "utility" to be worth testing or knowing.

  13. But yeah, I am confused about the polaritons. 
    (Polaritrons? I'm not hearing stuff / processing audio precisely, lately. ) Light has a shape? Or, like, a shape in time? Cuz that -3, -2, -1, 0, +1, +2, +3 image looks a lot like a light cone on a time-space diagram. To me, at least. The things with the light at diagonal lines in space.

    Wait. Spin? Do photons have spin? I'm gonna get a used copy of my uni textbook off someone and try to remember anything. Yaaay Long Covid! (Twice, Doubled, or Squared! Per your preference.)

  16. On how faster-than-light info would affect (our understanding of) causality: "And then nothing makes sense anymore." Since when has science stopped testing things that seemed "unintuitive" on the first pass? 
    Wouldn't that just sort itself out, and then we'd make new inferences to test? Cuz it sounds like an additional dimension of time would be useful here. Which... is probably a meme. "Just add a new dimension!" Ok yeah, but what if we did tho. (Eddie Woo intensifies.)

  17. An international team of physicists, including researchers from Jülich, used supercomputers to deliver a new high-precision calculation of the muon’s magnetic moment ⚡🧬

    The result reduces theoretical uncertainty and strongly validates the Standard Model of particle physics.

    The paper appeared in Nature.

  18. Hypertriton more strongly bound than previously assumed: International research team at the Mainz Microtron MAMI achieves most precise measurement of hypertriton binding energy to date / New insights into the strong nuclear forces that hold matter together 👉 fb08.uni-mainz.de/en/2026/04/1

    #NuclearPhysics #ParticlePhysics

  19. The hypertriton is an exotic, extremely short-lived hydrogen isotope containing a proton, a neutron, and a Lambda hyperon. A recent, unprecedentedly precise measurement reveals that its binding energy is significantly stronger than previously assumed.

  20. Muon detectives share the Breakthrough Prize glory
    University of Washington physicist David Hertzog can’t wait to find out how hundreds of researchers who worked on a geeky project known as the Muon g-2 Collaboration will react when they hear they’ve each won thousands of dollars for that work.

    The money is coming

  22. Photonuclear interactions occur when light-speed particles in an accelerator barely miss each other, allowing the high-energy photons from their electromagnetic halos to interact with passing nuclei. This phenomenon enables physicists to probe the internal structure of nuclear matter and study the strong force binding it together.

  23. CERN adds a new particle to subatomic menagerie
    The Large Hadron Collider's subatomic discoveries didn't stop with the Higgs boson: This week, scientists at Europe's CERN research center announced that the collider's LHCb experiment has detected a doubly charmed particle that's like a proton, but four times as weighty.

  24. The LHCb experiment at #CERN has discovered a new particle made from two charm quarks and a down #quark.

    This double-charmed particle is like a #proton but with quadruple the mass.
