On 11 February, the NOvA collaboration announced the detection of the first neutrinos in the long-baseline experiment’s far detector in northern Minnesota.
Read article 'New precision reached on electron mass'
Knowledge of the electron mass has been improved by a factor of 13, thanks to a clever extension of previous Penning-trap experiments.
Read article 'Fermi gamma-rays match dark-matter signal'
A new analysis of observations of the galactic centre by the Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope strengthens the case for a signal from annihilating dark matter. The authors claim that the excess emission...
