Growing hints of lepton-universality violation

The LHCb collaboration reveals strengthening evidence of a particle decay that deviates from the Standard Model.

DUNE near detector

A tale of two detectors

As the Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE) reveals more details about its so-called ‘near detector’ at Fermilab, we take a look at what it is and what it might mean for physics.
