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.
