It’s a potentially useful technique—and it’s surprising that it works.

In Wednesday's issue of Nature, a new paper describes a potentially useful way of measuring the interactions between normal matter and exotic particles, like antiprotons and unstable items like kaons or elements containing a strange quark. The work is likely to be useful, as we still don't understand the asymmetry that has allowed matter to be the dominant form in our Universe.
But the study is probably most notable for the surprising way that it collected measurements. A small research team managed to put an antiproton in orbit around the nucleus of a helium atom that was part of some liquid helium chilled down to where it acted as a superfluid. The researchers then measured the light emitted by the antiproton's orbital transitions.
There are many reasons you'd want to get precise measurements of this sort of thing. For one, the measurements will be sensitive to the properties of antimatter and strange quarks, which are short-lived and are often created in environments that make precision measurements challenging. In addition, this system involves interactions between antimatter and regular matter, which can be difficult to capture due to their violent ends. Finally, the specific interactions here—between an atomic nucleus and an object in the orbitals that surround it—are sensitive to properties that are fundamental to the Universe.

Google keynote had people looking for something that wasn’t there.

Google yesterday said that the "Steam on Chrome OS" alpha had launched, but it turns out that Steam on Chromebooks isn't actually ready for testing.
During the Google for Games developer summit keynote yesterday, Google product director Greg Hartell said, "The Steam alpha just launched, making this long-time PC game store available on select Chromebooks for users to try." He encouraged people to visit the Chromebook community forum for more information. But at the time, as many noticed, there was no alpha or new information there.
While it may have seemed like a low-key announcement for Steam on Chrome OS, which Google hasn't updated the public on since announcing the Valve partnership in 2020, it turns out that Haller misspoke. Steam on Chrome OS is not yet available for testing. It should be soon, however.

The Chuwi Corebook X 2022 is a laptop with many of the specs you’d expect from a premium device, including a 14 inch, 3:2 aspect ratio display, an aluminum body, slim chassis, backlit keyboard, and large touchpad.
Launching later this month for 499 Euros and up, there’s one feature that makes it clear why the CoreBook X is cheaper than most notebooks with those features: it’s powered by an underwhelming Intel Core i3-10110U processor.
That’s a 10th-gen Intel Comet Lake processor from 2019 that was one of Intel’s last laptop chips manufactured using a 14nm process. It’s also one of the least powerful chips in the Comet Lake lineup, with just 2 CPU cores and 4 threads. While it’s a chip that actually powers some pretty decent Chromebooks, it’s not exactly your best option for a Windows laptop in 2022.
It’s also a little baffling that Chuwi opted for this particular chip since the new laptop is an updated version of last year’s Chuwi CoreBook X that had an identical design, but which was powered by a 28-watt Intel Core i5-8259U processor. That’s an even older chip, but it’s a 4-core, 8-thread processor that offers 2X the multi-core performance in at least some benchmarks.
This year’s model did get at least one upgrade though: it ships with an Intel AX201 wireless card with support for WiFi 6 and Bluetooth 5.2. The previous-gen model topped out at WiFi 5 and Bluetooth 4.2.
Other specs for the new Chuwi CoreBook X include a 2160 x 1440 pixel display with an 85% screen-to-body ratio, 8GB of DDR4-2666 memory, a 512GB SSD (with 500MB/s read speeds), and a 46.2 Wh battery.
The notebook’s touchpad measures 5.8 inches diagonally and the notebook weighs 2.99 pounds (1.36 kg) and measures 0.43″ (10.9mm) at its thinnest point.
Ports include a microSD card reader, USB 3.0 Type-A and Type-C ports, a headphone jack, and a DC charging port.
