A new neutrino physics experiment published a preprint with new measurements of neutrino oscillation constants. The new equipment works to high precision and will help fine tune the exact values of some the least precisely known experimentally measured parameters in the Standard Model of Particle Physics.
This is interesting to people who follow particle physics closely. It is also scientifically important. But honestly, it isn't that interesting to the average person with only a general interest in science.
But, Rory Harris at Live Science in a fit a yellow journalism in the science world, writes a story containing all sorts of nonsense about JUNO revealing beyond the Standard Model physics, as well as the usual, misleading blather about CP violation experimentation answering questions about the baryon asymmetry of the universe (which this experiment does not do).
