Quark leaves wake in lab-made primordial plasma, hinting at a soupy early universe

Physicists at CERN’s Large Hadron Collider (CMS collaboration) detected a subtle dip (less than 1%) in backward particle production as a high-energy quark moved through a tiny droplet of quark-gluon plasma, revealing a wake formed by energy transfer to the primordial fluid. By using Z bosons as clean markers, researchers could isolate this effect and gain a lab-side glimpse into the hot, liquid-like plasma that filled the early universe microseconds after the Big Bang.

Wake of a Hidden Stellar Partner Reveals Betelgeuse's Secret Neighbor

Astronomers using the Hubble Space Telescope and ground-based observatories have found direct evidence of a hidden companion star to Betelgeuse, Siwarha, whose orbital wake through the red supergiant’s atmosphere explains Betelgeuse’s six-year brightness cycle and other variability, with the wake matching predictions from an orbiter that completes a six-year orbit and potentially merging with Betelgeuse in the distant future; findings are published in the Astrophysical Journal.

"Community Mourns Slain NYPD Officer Jonathan Diller at Long Island Funeral"

The wake for slain NYPD Officer Jonathan Diller drew hundreds in Massapequa Park, Long Island, with mourners expressing grief and anger over his death.

Governor Kathy Hochul attended the wake and faced criticism from some attendees. The community rallied around Diller's family, with Archbishop Timothy Cardinal Dolan and local businesses offering support. Diller will be honored at his funeral, and road closures are expected in the area.
