![A search for minimal extensions to the Standard Model, constrained by parity violation limits and experimental data from NA64 and KLOE-2, reveals a landscape of viable neutron and proton couplings-specifically [latex]\epsilon_{n}^{V},\epsilon_{n}^{A},\epsilon_{p}^{V},\epsilon_{p}^{A}[/latex]-that simultaneously accommodate ATOMKI measurements at 99% confidence, potentially explaining the PADME excess through corresponding electron coupling values [latex]\epsilon_{e}^{V}[/latex].](https://arxiv.org/html/2602.11263v1/x5.png)

The idea of Batman always having a Robin is being challenged. In Matt Fraction’s Batman (2025) #6, Tim Drake retired, and hints were dropped that Damian Wayne might do the same. This could leave Batman without a partner for the first time in a long time – aside from Damian’s brief period of acting out – and open up the position of Robin.
