In this episode of the Physics World Weekly podcast, I chat with the astrophysicist Abigail Frost about a mysterious stellar system that was thought to harbour the closest black hole to Earth. Instead, Frost and colleagues have shown that the system comprises a star that has been stripped by its “vampire” partner. She explains how different research groups competed and cooperated to gain a better understanding of the system, which is called HR 6819.

Iron has been an important metal to humans for thousands of years, but it has a serious flaw: when exposed to moisture, it rusts easily. Understanding this corrosion process, and ultimately finding ways to slow or stop it, is therefore hugely important. Thanks to atomic-scale first-principles molecular dynamics simulations , researchers at Rice University in the US have now found that the material’s surface plays a crucial role in corrosion, forming reactive species even when immersed in a non-c
