An analysis of 220 days of LUX-ZEPLIN data has found a single particle interaction consistent with dark matter. At 2.6 sigma, it falls short of physics thresholds for evidence or detection, and researchers say more data are needed to know what it is.
Water droplets can pick up electrical charge by sliding and transfer it to materials with the right electrical properties, including metals, eventually driving corrosion even under a protective coating, researchers report August 26 in Nature. The effect may be widespread.
OpenAI says AI agents found a breakdown in the forced Navier-Stokes equations, which describe fluid flow. Mathematicians are still verifying the 166-page proof, and questions about credit and access have fueled controversy.
