As a Boulderite and a huge fan of NIST, I am bummed out that the misleading headline does come from NIST itself and not an overzealous contributor.

Exciting results, all the same.

wait, how is what they wrote misleading?
It's not literally false, but I got an inaccurate impression based on the headline. To me it implied a positive discovery of evidence rather than a ruling-out.

If they'd said "determined new constraints on a hypothetical 5th force" or something I would have gotten a correct impression.
