science Computer simulations reveal that early-universe plasma stops absorbing energy much sooner than previously thought. This finding comes from a team at Perimeter Institute and the University of Maryland. The research weakens cosmological limits on dark photon mass across about 10 orders of magnitude, specifically from 10⁻¹⁴ to 10⁻⁴ electron volts. For years, linear physics assumed efficient heating, but nonlinear plasma effects disrupt the necessary resonance. Physicists must now reconsider similar limits across various astrophysical environments. 🔬
science A PhD student from the University of Sydney traced a 1.34497-hour radio pulse to a dead star called ASKAP J1745−5051. This binary system is located in the Milky Way and consists of a white dwarf and a low-mass companion. Observations from June 1, 2026, showed orbital periods of 1.368 hours optically and 1.32 hours via X-rays. This agreement links the radio bursts to the binary orbit, acting like a stellar Rosetta Stone. Future work will use this system to compare other long-period radio transients. 🔭
