CERN upgrade to LHCb experiment threatened by UK funding cuts

A major upgrade to the LHCb experiment at CERN is under threat after the UK did not commit any further contributions towards the project. The decision by the UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) to defund the plan means that, unless the decision is overturned, the experiment will now likely finish operation in 2033.

LHCb is one of the four large experiments based at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN. It specializes in measuring the parameters of charge-parity (CP) violation in the interactions of b- and c-hadrons, studies that help explain the matter-antimatter asymmetry in the universe.

 

Giant barocaloric cooling effect offers a new route to refrigeration

A new cooling technique based on dissolution barocaloric cooling could provide an environmentally friendly alternative to existing refrigeration methods. With a cooling capacity of 67 J/g and an efficiency of nearly 77%, the method developed by researchers from the Institute of Metal Research of the Chinese Academy of Sciences can reduce the temperature of a sample by 27 K in just 20 seconds – far more than is possible with standard barocaloric materials.
