Developed by Josh Wardle, Wordle is a viral word-based game that has spawned many copycats on the iOS App Store. However, Wardle has little ammunition to fight the clones with. He probably would not be able to copyright the name “Wordle” as other apps have used that name previously. These apps, despite being different to Wardle’s Wordle, have as much of a claim to the copyright as Wardle does. Read full article here

‘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.
