The Standard Model of particle physics tells us that most particles we observe are made up of combinations of just six types of fundamental entities called quarks. However, there are still many mysteries, one of which is an exotic, but very short-lived, Lambda resonance known as ^(1405).
For a long time, it was thought to be a particular excited state of three quarks-up, down, and strange-

New telescope project completion in sight
Write a comment
The construction of the Fred Young Submillimeter Telescope (FYST) being developed by CCAT Observatory Inc., an international consortium of universities led by Cornell, is drawing to a close.
Work is poised to begin on a defining feature of the telescope—the "elevation" part that supports the upper structure and will contain the telescope's mirrors. Unlike almost any other telescope to date, the part will be constructed from Invar, a special formulation of steel that has an extremely low coefficient of thermal expansion.
"This means that it doesn't get bigger when it's hot and it doesn't shrink when it's cold," said Jim Blair, FYST project manager in the Department of Astronomy, in the College of Arts and Sciences. "At least, it's greatly, greatly reduced with Invar compared to regular steel. And that's important for the science, because at the wavelengths we are looking at, thermal expansion would actually affect the data and could ruin it.

Studies on hibernating squirrels may help astronauts
Write a comment
Fairbanks AK (SPX) Feb 01, 2023
Can studying sleeping Arctic ground squirrels help astronauts and further NASA's mission? Dr. Kelly Drew and her students studied hibernating squirrels and their ability to retain muscle and bone mass during extended hibernation and they think it could apply to astronauts.

Making the Most of Limited Data: Sols 3278-3279
Write a comment
Pasadena CA (JPL) Feb 01, 2023
The Sol 3727 drive went well, positioning the rover at the transition in the Marker Band that was the goal of the drive. As expected, we did not receive enough image data to allow DRT brushing to be planned, but we were able to plan APXS and MAHLI observations of a rough bedrock target named "Primavera."
The lack of complete, full-resolution Navcam coverage made it more challenging than us
