By clocking the speed of stars throughout the Milky Way galaxy, MIT physicists have found that stars further out in the galactic disk are traveling more slowly than expected compared to stars that are closer to the galaxy’s center. The findings raise a surprising possibility: The Milky Way’s gravitational core may be lighter in mass, and contain less dark matter, than previously thought. The new results are based on the team’s analysis of data taken by the Gaia and APOGEE instruments. Gaia is an orbiting space telescope that tracks the precise location, distance, and motion of more than 1 billion…

The boards detail a Valiant bomber crash in May 1956 in Southwick and the history of the recreation ground since the early 1900s. They were unveiled by the Southwick Society for dogwalkers and people enjoying the park to learn more about Southwick’s history. Southwick Society chairwoman Mary Candy, who designed the boards, said: “We are delighted to complete this project which we hope will inform people of the history of the recreation ground and also the remarkable event of May 1956.

At a vigil held on Sunday outside Brighton Police Station in John Street, Jay Abatan’s younger brother Michael called for people with information to “do the right thing”. Other speakers reiterated this message, stating that the “smallest piece of information could have the biggest effect” in the investigation. Jay, 42, was attacked outside Ocean Rooms nightclub in Morley Street, Brighton, on January 24, 1999. He never regained consciousness and died five days later at the Royal Sussex County Hospital on January 29. Jay’s family have raised concerns over allegations that the group who attacked him were drinking with Sussex Police officers…

Just when you thought the hype about room-temperature superconductors was over, it’s not. A Swiss quantum algorithm startup, Terra Quantum, and a research lab at the State University of Campinas (Unicamp) in Brazil claim that they have discovered a form of graphite that superconducts at ambient temperature and pressure. Terra Quantum isn’t a small operation. The company raised $60 million early in 2022 for its quantum-as-a-service platform. But that doesn’t mean you should get your hopes up. Room-temperature superconductors, if one is ever found and independently confirmed, could revolutionize everything from electricity transmission to computing, electric vehicles, MRI machines, maglev…

The tree was discovered on the Drumloch Highway in the Chapelton are of Strathaven, South Lanarkshire.  Muttonhall Road to Shawton Road has been shut as a result. A local diversion is available via Burn Road. It is unknown when the issue will be resolved.  South Lanarkshire Council put the news on X today, writing: “Due to a dangerous tree on Drumloch Highway, Chapelton, there is a road closure from Muttonhall Road to Shawton Road. “Local diversion – Shawton Road, Burn Road, A723, Muttonhole Road.”  Due to a dangerous tree on Drumloch Highway, Chapelton there is a.road closure from Muttonhall Rd to Shawton Rd.…

On a mission to build better electric vehicle batteries, chemists at the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Brookhaven National Laboratory have used an electrolyte additive to improve the functionality of energy-dense lithium metal batteries. By adding a compound called cesium nitrate to the electrolyte that separates the battery’s anode and cathode, the research team has significantly improved the charging rate of lithium metal batteries while maintaining a long cycle life. The team’s new work, recently published in Nature Communications, targets the interphase — a protective layer formed on the battery’s anode and cathode. This layer, which prevents degradation of battery…
