The CDF collaboration at Fermilab announces the most precise ever measurement of the #Wboson mass to be in tension with the Standard Model:
news.fnal.gov/2022/04/cdf-co… The #Wboson is a messenger particle of the weak force. It is responsible for the nuclear processes that make the sun shine and particles decay. CDF scientists have now determined the W boson’s mass with a precision of 0.01%—twice as precise as the previous best measurement.

We’re thrilled to announce that the first results from Fermilab’s Muon g-2 experiment strengthen evidence of new physics! #gminus2
news.fnal.gov/2021/04/first-… The Muon g-2 experiment at Fermilab sees fundamental particles called muons behaving in a way not predicted by the Standard Model of particle physics. These results confirm an earlier experiment performed at @BrookhavenLab. #gminus2
