![The study demonstrates that birefringence induced by hypothetical axion-like particles (ALPs) within protoplanetary disks causes a time-varying rotation χ of the polarization plane of scattered light, measurable through oscillations in local Stokes parameters [latex]Q_{\phi}[/latex] and [latex]U_{\phi}[/latex], and thus providing a potential signature for these elusive particles.](https://arxiv.org/html/2602.15611v1/x1.png)
Researchers are leveraging the polarization of light from swirling gas and dust around young stars to search for subtle signatures of elusive axion-like particles, a leading candidate for dark matter.
Early reviews for the upcoming Scrubs revival, premiering February 25th on ABC, are overwhelmingly positive. The show currently has an 83% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, with critics praising its ability to blend familiar nostalgic elements with a fresh, modern approach.

It rehashes jokes already made about Severance without adding anything new, making it less engaging than other episodes this season.
We often hear that some older comedies wouldn’t fly today, but in the case of Freddy Got Fingered, that’s completely true. As the film nears its 25th anniversary, it’s clear it was a truly one-of-a-kind movie—something that could only have been created during that particular moment in time.
As market volatility continues to frolic about like an excitable puppy, our dear Arthur Hayes-Bitmex co-founder and supreme oracle of all things crypto-has taken it upon himself to share his musings in a recent essay from February 17.

After peaking higher than a squirrel on a coffee high, Bitcoin’s now in a corrective phase. Crypto analysts? They’re like the guy at the party who insists the music’s “just fine” even though it’s clearly a kazoo. The weekly structure? Broken? More like a broken promise. Sellers? They’re the real MVPs here.
