They Fled War in Ethiopia. Then American Bombs Found Them.
In April, U.S.-made bombs destroyed a detention facility that held Ethiopian migrants in Yemen, crushing bodies and shredding limbs. Amid official silence, the survivors are left wondering why.

Exclusive: Crypto and stablecoin infrastructure startup zerohash to raise $100 million at almost $1 billion valuation
The company is the latest beneficiary of venture capital’s booming interest in stablecoins.

There are factories today making bombs to drop on children and aircraft to drop them. These factories could have been tooled to make aircraft to put out fires and could still be retooled to do so in the future.
People in power are making explicit decisions to end lives instead of save them, and that's not something that should ever be forgiven or forgotten.

Inside science labs trying to survive in the Trump era
Anastasia Khvorova is perched at the edge of a massive scientific opportunity.
Her laboratory at the University of Massachusetts Chan Medical School deploys cutting-edge RNA biology with one aim:
to cure diseases — the ones that rob people of their memories or endanger pregnant women.

Lately, she sees peril all around her.

In the hallway, she bumps into one world-class chemist, then another, whose salaries…

Inside science labs trying to survive in the Trump era
Anastasia Khvorova’s lab at U-Mass. Chan Medical School shows how quickly the administration is dismantling an 80-year partnership that made the U.S. a scientific superpower.

Lense-Thirring precessing magnetar engine drives a superluminous supernova
Type I superluminous supernovae (SLSNe-I) are at least an order of magnitude brighter than standard supernovae, with the internal power source for their luminosity still unknown. The central engines of SLSNe-I are hypothesized to be magnetars, but the majority of SLSNe-I light curves have multiple bumps or peaks that are unexplained by the standard magnetar model. Existing explanations for the bumps either modulate the central engine luminosity or invoke interactions with material in the circum…

Hyperspectral Mamba for Hyperspectral Object Tracking
Hyperspectral object tracking holds great promise due to the rich spectral information and fine-grained material distinctions in hyperspectral images, which are beneficial in challenging scenarios. While existing hyperspectral trackers have made progress by either transforming hyperspectral data into false-color images or incorporating modality fusion strategies, they often fail to capture the intrinsic spectral information, temporal dependencies, and cross-depth interactions. To address these …

Trump is so open for (corrupt) business that he’s potentially profiting millions
from a deal with a mysterious crypto company
whose owners and intentions are essentially unknown, at least to those outside Trump’s circle.
However, as is the norm under this administration, the losers are crystal clear: the American people.
