Obama counsels El-Sayed as Michigan Democrats seek unity after bruising Senate primary

Barack Obama privately advised Abdul El-Sayed after Michigan’s bruising Democratic Senate primary, describing a warm conversation and urging unity to win the seat in November; Stevens endorsed El-Sayed, Obama has not publicly endorsed him, and outside groups have spotlighted his ties to the race as Democrats work to unite behind the nominee while Republicans look for divisions to exploit.

Dodgers land Tarik Skubal; Tigers cash in on multi-prospect haul

The Dodgers acquired Tarik Skubal from Detroit for outfielder Zyhir Hope and right-handers River Ryan and Brady Smith, earning an A+ for L.A. and a B for Detroit. Skubal, a two-time Cy Young winner, boosts the Dodgers’ playoff rotation alongside Yamamoto, Ohtani, and Snell, while Detroit pockets a strong prospect package (including top-50 prospects) to fuel a rebuild, weighing immediate impact against long-term upside.

Gravity-Bent Light Sparks Portable Gravity-Mapping Sensor

A University of Wollongong physicist has built a compact fiber-optic laser system that leverages gravity’s bending of light to enable a mobile, high-precision sensing device. The ~1-meter instrument uses two long coils to compare tiny picosecond delays between light beams, a method dubbed gravity mapping that could support aerial underground surveys, submarine navigation, and geological monitoring. Described as an early proof-of-concept, the tech shows promise but researchers caution more work is needed to understand fluctuations and how gravity might influence light beyond Einstein’s postulate of a constant light speed.
