Underneath a granite hill in southern China, a massive detector is nearly complete that will sniff out the mysterious ghost particles lurking around us. The Jiangmen Underground Neutrino Observatory will soon begin the difficult task of spotting neutrinos: tiny cosmic particles with a mind-bogglingly small mass. The detector is one of three being built across the globe to study these elusive ghost particles in the finest detail yet. The other two, based in the United States and Japan, are still under construction. Spying neutrinos is no small feat in the quest to understand how the universe came to be. The Chinese effort, set to go online next year, will push the technology to new limits, said Andre de Gouvea, a theoretical physicist at Northwestern University who is not involved with the project. “If they can pull that off,” he said, “it would be amazing.” Neutrinos date back to the Big Bang, and trillions zoom through our bodies every second. They spew from stars like the sun and stream out when atomic bits collide in a particle accelerator. Scientists have known about the existence of neutrinos for almost a century, but they’re still in the early stages of figuring out what the particles really are. “It’s the least understood particle in our world,” said Cao Jun, who helps manage the detector known as JUNO. "That’s why we need to study it.” There’s no way to spot the tiny neutrinos whizzing around on their own. Instead, scientists measure what happens when they collide with other bits of matter, producing flashes of light or charged particles. Neutrinos bump into other particles only very rarely, so to up their chances of catching a collision, physicists have to think big. “The solution for how we measure these neutrinos is to build very, very big detectors,” de Gouvea said. The $300 million detector in Kaiping, China, took over nine years to build. Its location 2,297 feet (700 meters) underground protects from pesky cosmic rays and radiation that could throw off its neutrino-sniffing abilities. On Wednesday, workers began the final step in construction. Eventually, they'll fill the orb-shaped detector with a liquid designed to emit light when neutrinos pass through and submerge the whole thing in purified water. It'll study antineutrinos — an opposite to neutrinos which allow scientists to understand their behavior — produced from collisions inside two nuclear power plants located over 31 miles (50 kilometers) away. When the antineutrinos come into contact with particles inside the detector, they'll produce a flash of light. The detector is specially designed to answer a key question about a longstanding mystery. Neutrinos switch between three flavors as they zip through space, and scientists want to rank them from lightest to heaviest. Sensing these subtle shifts in the already evasive particles will be a challenge, said Kate Scholberg, a physicist at Duke University who is not involved with the project. “It’s actually a very daring thing to even go after it,” she said. China’s detector is set to operate during the second half of next year. After that, it’ll take some time to collect and analyze the data — so scientists will have to keep waiting to fully unearth the secret lives of neutrinos. Two similar neutrino detectors – Japan’s Hyper-Kamiokande and the Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment based in the United States – are under construction. They’re set to go online around 2027 and 2031 and will cross-check the China detector’s results using different approaches. “In the end, we have a better understanding of the nature of physics,” said Wang Yifang, chief scientist and project manager of the Chinese effort. Though neutrinos barely interact with other particles, they’ve been around since the dawn of time. Studying these Big Bang relics can clue scientists into how the universe evolved and expanded billions of years ago. “They’re part of the big picture,” Scholberg said. One question researchers hope neutrinos can help answer is why the universe is overwhelmingly made up of matter with its opposing counterpart — called antimatter — largely snuffed out. Scientists don't know how things got to be so out of balance, but they think neutrinos could have helped write the earliest rules of matter. The proof, scientists say, may lie in the particles. They'll have to catch them to find out.
' tenure with the has officially ended after six seasons, with the team granting the QB his release on Friday. Once seen as the team's future quarterback, requested his release after a tough 2024 campaign in which he was publicly benched by the team's coach. Despite impressive career numbers-14,582 passing yards, 70 touchdowns, and 2,179 rushing yards-his struggles in the red zone and overall inconsistency this season led to the decision. Giants president confirmed the move, noting that came to the team with a request for his release. The quarterback's rough performance in 2024, which included ranking 32nd in passer rating, ultimately sealed his fate. While the decision carries a significant financial impact-a 69.3-million-dollar dead cap hit for 2024-it also provides the Giants with 19.4 million dollars in cap savings and avoids the 23 million dollars injury guarantee for 2025. Would Jerry Jones sign Daniel Jones for Dallas Cowboys? Now a free agent, is the subject of speculation, with the emerging as a potential landing spot. Following the Cowboys' 20-15 victory over the Giants, Cowboys owner Jerry Jones praised Daniel Jones' performance, noting he was "more impressed" than he expected. This has fueled rumors that Dallas, currently dealing with quarterback issues after 's season-ending injury, could pursue as a replacement. Jerry Jones' comments on 105.3 The Fan hinted at possible interest in the former Giants quarterback. had an impressive outing in the game against Dallas, completing 29 of 40 passes for 281 yards. This performance seemed to catch Jerry's attention, leading some to speculate that the Cowboys could be looking to sign , especially with a potential matchup against his old team on Thanksgiving. However, the move wouldn't come without complications. ' contract includes a substantial 13.8-million-dollar price tag and injury guarantees for 2025, which could pose financial challenges for any interested team. Yet, is known for making bold moves, and with the in need of a reliable quarterback, ' future in Dallas remains a possibility. As of now, ' next destination remains uncertain, but his potential move to the has fans buzzing. Whether pulls the trigger on a deal for remains to be seen, but the possibility is certainly one to watch.
Commanders place kicker Austin Seibert on injured reserveHALIFAX — A Nova Scotia charity is serving at least 600 free traditional dinners over Christmas Eve and Christmas Day to spread a little bit of holiday cheer. The Souls Harbour Rescue Mission is offering a sit-down turkey dinner with all the fixings for people who need "food or friends" at mission locations across the province. It's the first time the group is serving the meals over the holidays since it started providing community service in 2010. Michelle Porter, the CEO, says the charity has been raising funds for Christmas festivities since November and estimates the cost for events during the holiday season is around $1 million. Meals will differ slightly at mission locations across the province, but Porter says all plates will have turkey, potatoes, cranberry, gravy and some vegetables. People who attend will also get a Christmas stocking that includes a mini hygiene set and a few treats like chocolate, gloves and socks. About 400 people will eat today in Lower Sackville, Bridgewater, Truro and Sydney Mines, while Porter estimates 200 people will share a meal together in Halifax on Christmas Day.

The Associated Press created this story using technology provided by Data Skrive and data from Sportradar .MEXICO CITY (Reuters): Amid a fresh wave of violence, Mexico’s President Claudia Sheinbaum has sent her security chief and thousands of troops to stem a bloody escalation of drug cartel crime in Sinaloa state, signaling a shift in security strategy in the Latin American nation. On the campaign trail, Sheinbaum had promised to largely continue the security policy of her mentor and predecessor Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador, which prioritized addressing the root social causes of crime rather than attacking the cartels – an approach nicknamed “hugs not bullets” after a catchphrase of the former president. But initial signs from her first months in office suggest a more aggressive approach with the most substantial deployment in at least six years of military and naval troops, as well as special forces and heavy weaponry to Sinaloa since an intra-cartel war broke out in September. High-profile arrests and large drug seizures have followed, including a record bust of over a ton of fentanyl. That more front-footed strategy could align well with President-elect Donald Trump, who has called on Mexico to do more to stop the flow of drugs, and migrants, to the U.S. But it also risks further inflaming violence and homicides, as a more confrontational position has done in the past in a country where cartels are heavily armed with military-grade weapons. Sheinbaum’s office did not reply to a request for comment. “There is a change without a doubt ... we are seeing signs that the strategy of hugs and not bullets is on the way out,” said Vicente Sanchez, a security expert and member of Mexico’s National System of Investigators, a government agency that works to improve the quality of Mexican research. Security experts said they believe the new strategy is partly a response to Trump’s threat to impose 25 percent tariffs on products from Mexico if the country does not curb drug trafficking and the illegal crossing of migrants into the United States. Some have also taken it as an indirect admission that Lopez Obrador’s less confrontational strategy did not work, with many experts saying it helped organized crime groups entrench power in vast swaths of the country. The U.S. ambassador to Mexico, Ken Salazar, publicly criticized the approach, saying it had “failed” and “Mexico is not safe.” MILITARY TO THE STREETS Some security experts have drawn comparisons between the operations in Sinaloa and the military war waged on the cartels by then-President Felipe Calderon in 2006. That triggered a spiral of violence to which many analysts trace the continued high homicide rates Mexico. The United Nations has repeatedly criticized the use of the armed forces in the fight against crime in Mexico, arguing that it encourages human rights violations. The Mexican government denies that security in the country has been militarized or that human rights abuses are common. Key to Sheinbaum’s crime-fighting strategy is her new security chief Omar Garcia Harfuch, an experienced policeman who worked for the president while she was mayor of Mexico City. Sheinbaum sent Garcia Harfuch to Sinaloa to oversee operations. “We know how difficult it is to pacify the country,” he said last week after an investigator from his ministry was killed in Sinaloa. The confrontation between rival groups in Sinaloa, which intensified on Sept. 9, has so far killed some 650 people, with more reported missing. In an attempt to contain the conflict, the local security chief was replaced by a military officer over the weekend. In the same week, at least three soldiers were killed by land mines laid by organized crime in two separate locations in the western state of Michoacan. For some experts there is a danger if Sheinbaum seeks to replicate her strategy in Sinaloa across the country. “Each one (criminal group) has its own personality, its own mark, and we have to find the part that hurts them,” said Tomas Guevara, an expert on security issues in Sinaloa.
