Because liquids lack fixed structure, their ultrafast solute–solvent interactions have been difficult to study. A team from @OhioState & @LSU shows that high-harmonic spectroscopy can reveal molecular handshakes. Learn more about the @PNASNews study: https://t.co/iF1Mi99DhF

[Fermilab @Fermilab]

In the latest @Microboone result, the collaboration used one detector and two beams to study neutrino behavior, ruling out the single sterile neutrino model with 95% certainty.

This SUNDAY. You won't want to miss it 🤭

[MicroBooNE @Microboone]

New MicroBooNE result in Nature! We exclude, at 95% CL, the 3+1 explanation of the LSND and MiniBooNE anomalies, as well as regions allowed by the gallium and Neutrino-4 anomalies. https://t.co/gmd0crJIUu
