The fine wine industry aged rather well even amidst the global pandemic, reporting record sales in 2021. But that’s not the only reason investors from Generation Z — loosely defined as 25 and under — are adding fine wine to their portfolios. Compared to alternatives such as crypto, whisky, and art, investors find that fine wine has a relatively accessible entry point that makes it easy to get into while also providing long-term stability within portfolios.

‘Ghostly’ neutrinos provide new path to study protons
In groundbreaking research, an international collaboration of scientists from the University of Rochester have used a beam of neutrinos to measure the size and shape of the protons that make up the nuclei of atoms. This feat, once thought impossible, provides scientists with a new way of looking at the small components of an atom’s nucleus and opens up a wealth of new information about the structure of an atom’s nucleus and the dynamics of the forces that affect neutrino interactions. The researchers solved the challenge of harnessing neutrinos in large numbers by using a neutrino detector containing a target of both hydrogen and carbon atoms, and over nine years of data collection at Fermilab’s accelerator.
