Physics Friday : Some physics new from the week that was!

The LHCb experiment reports on new tension with the Standard Model of Particle Physics. The Glashow Resonance is observed by the IceCube Neutrino experiment. Superconducting skyrmions are observed in two-layers of graphene.

Physics Friday
The LHCb experiment reports on new tension with the Standard Model of Particle Physics. Check out our write up on this issue. Also check out our rant about why this absolutely is NOT a discovery or sighting of any new particle.

The Glashow Resonance is observed by the IceCube Neutrino experiment. We wrote about this last week on our blog, check the links to the relevant info there.

Superconducting skyrmions are observed in two-layers of graphene. We also wrote a summary of these skyrmions and the room temperature superconductor information on our blog. Here's Charlie's article at Quanta.

The Accelerated Physics Podcast is a production of the Pasayten Institute, whose mission is to build and share physics knowledge, without barriers. This podcast aims to serve both students and teachers of physics by injecting ideas, starting conversations. Have any ideas or feedback? Drop us a line: https://www.pasayten.org/heysean
 
This show is made possible in part by the Physics Accelerator, whose mission is to support people in the quest to learn mathematics and physics. The Physics Accelerator is a program of the Pasayten Institute. Music today by Particle House. The show is written, editing and produced by me, Sean Downes. Thank you so much for listening.

What is Accelerated Physics?

This is a podcast about learning and teaching physics, from someone who's been in the trenches for almost two decades. We'll also discuss how to relate the classroom to big ideas in contemporary research: like what circuits have to do with quantum mechanics, how special relativity impacts us - literally every day - and how the Doppler effect can teach us about the earliest moments - and the farthest reaches - of our universe.

Whether you’re a student or an instructor, you’ll find a wealth of ideas both practical and inspirational. Here at the Pasayten Institute, we’re convinced that like photons, perspectives should be exchanged, and often!
