BASE Antimatter Experiment opens up new possibilities in the search for cold dark matter

Posted by in categories: cosmology, particle physics

BASE opens up new possibilities in the search for cold dark matter.

The Baryon Antibaryon Symmetry Experiment (BASE) at CERN’s Antimatter Factory has set new limits on how easily axion-like particles in a narrow mass range around 2.97 neV can turn into photons, the particles of light. BASE’s new result, published by Physical Review Letters, describes this pioneering method and opens up new experimental possibilities in the search for cold dark matter.

How chromosomes evolve to create new forms of life

Posted by in categories: biological, materials

3D printing is a universal process in the sense that pretty much any part that can be drawn up in a CAD program can be printed, at least within a certain resolution. Machining a part on a mill or lathe, while having the advantage of greater accuracy and material options, is a slightly less universal process in that many possible designs that exist in theory could never be machined. A hollow sphere can easily be printed, but a ball could never be milled as a single part into a hollow sphere—unless you happen to have a milling machine tiny enough to fit inside the ball. But what about biological parts, and whole animals? How universal, from a design perspective, is growth?

Facebook’s ‘Oversight Board’ overturns four of five cases in first rulings

Posted by in category: futurism

“The board’s first rulings concerned five cases in which Facebook had removed posts for violating its policies. And in four out of the five cases reviewed, the board voted to overturn Facebook’s original decisions. The board also called on Facebook to give users greater clarity over its policies and how it intends to enforce them.”


“For all board members, you start with the supremacy of free speech,” Alan Rusbridger, a board member and former editor-in-chief of The Guardian, said.
