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: lsu.edu/science/news/2025/12…

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.

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. nature.com/articles/s41586-0…

Some great images from our science colloquium yesterday.
#ICYMI: Scientists on the MicroBooNE experiment further ruled out the possibility of one sterile neutrino as an explanation for results from previous experiments. Congratulations to the @Microboone collaboration on this exciting result!
