A diamond-cubic boron nitride-cobalt composite survived a projectile at over Mach 7. The interesting part is how it survived: the diamond partly stopped being diamond.

A Science paper from RHIC's STAR detector backs a 1996 proposal that a Y-shaped gluon junction carries baryon number. The collider stopped running in early 2026, so the dataset is closed.

A US-led team reads up to 80% X-ray polarization from magnetar 1E 1547.0-5408 as QED vacuum birefringence. An Italian-led group says alternative explanations are not excluded.

A Physical Review X paper reports that stretching hexagonal manganese telluride merges its magnetic domains and reverses the sign of its anomalous Hall voltage, leaving the magnetic order intact.

Brookhaven's STAR collaboration reports in Science that baryon number rides on a Y-shaped gluon junction. The one-third-per-quark picture in the textbooks would have to go.
