7 astrophysical tau neutrinos found with @uw_icecube. “We can’t say with absolute certainty that we have found tau neutrinos,” says Doug Cowen, @penn_state. “But the 7 signals have all the characteristics we expect for these particles.”.

This year marks the 5th anniversary of the release of the first image of a black hole (M87*). The team that produced the image @ehtelescope recently released a 2nd image of M78*. The collaboration now expects to issue increasingly frequent updates.

What do you think it was coming from? .A truck. As in, a hyperspeed alien truck? .No, it was an ordinary truck, like a normal truck driving past a seismometer. all they did was find a truck. No holding back on the punches here.

A rare lab visit 4 me. I attended the opening of @PPPLab's new Quantum Diamond Lab, where researchers will grow diamonds for quantum applications. I also toured the magnetic confinement fusion reactor. Reactor smaller than I expected, equipment need to operate it, much bigger.

Great story and reporting here by @dangaristo. This whole saga is mindboggling in so many ways.

My first book review and a first story for @PhysicsWorld. It was fun to be able to put my opinion in for a change. (No idea if it will be in the print version, but if it is and you get a copy, please could I have it when you are done--asking for my Mum!).

While undergraduate physics students that identify as neurodivergent report little outright discrimination or violence, they do say that structural ableism has negatively impacted their time as students. Study from researchers @RutgersU @OhioState.

And relax. My new #JWST feature is out and the weekend has arrived. 😅 Please read, its a good one (yes I am biased, but. ).

I first leant of this work at the @ScienceWriters meeting last November. I still couldn't meet the embargo deadline of the paper (it published last week). But here it is if you want to read more. .
