Previous experiments had shown that some conditions the proton preferred anti down corks, but this new experiment paints a much more conclusive story. One avenue is through another property of the proton, the spin. Hyen hopes to start from the fundamental physical laws and comparing the results with experiments could reveal new information.
The surprising structure of protons, and a method for growing small intestines for transplantation.

00:45 Probing the proton’s interior
Although studied for decades, the internal structure of the proton is still throwing up surprises for physicists. This week, a team of researchers report an unexpected imbalance in the antimatter particles that make up the proton.
Short Bowel Syndrome is an often fatal condition that results from the removal of the small intestine. Treatment options are limited to transplantation, but donor intestines are hard to come by and can be rejected by the body. Now researchers may have developed a method to grow a replacement small intestine using stem cells and a small section of colon.
