Another day of adventure, with @bahn.de from Kleve to Geneva. So far we have 14 minutes delay because of a signal fault and another train taking priority. Fortunately I have 35 minutes in Düsseldorf to make my connection. Fingers crossed.

"The latest KATRIN result, based on a quarter of the data that the experiment will ultimately collect, still provides only an upper bound on the neutrino mass. But that bound has been slashed nearly in half, from 0.8 eV in the previous analysis,1 released three years ago, to 0.45 eV." 🧪
Kinematic measurements are closing in on the neutrino mass
The lightest massive particles are clear evidence of physics beyond the standard model. But the masses and their implications remain to be understood.
