Superdiffusive fractional dynamics: Unveiling regularity results in systems with general positive self-adjoint operators
We investigate the following fractional order in time Cauchy problem \begin{equation*} \begin{cases} \mathbb{D}_{t}^{α}u(t)+Au(t)=f(u(t)), & 1<α<2, \\ u(0)=u_{0},\,\,\,u^{\prime }(0)=u_{1}. & \end{cases}% \end{equation*}% where $\mathbb{D}_{t}^{α}u(\cdot )$ is the Caputo time-fractional derivative of order $α\in (1, 2)$ of the function $u$. Such problems are increasingly used in concrete models in applied sciences, notably phenomena with memory effects. We obtain results on existence and re…

Rapid heat assisted polarization reversal in ferroelectric thin films
We demonstrate that switching of ferroelectric thin-films sandwiched between metallic electrodes can be controlled by laser-assisted heating, reminiscent of heat-assisted magnetic recording. We employ electrical switching cycles that quantify the electrically switchable remanent polarization $P_\mathrm{r}$ and show that 300\,ns voltage pulses alone change the polarization by less than $ΔP

Ticketmaster, Live Nation Sued by FTC Over Ticket Resales
The US Federal Trade Commission and seven states sued Live Nation Entertainment Inc. and its Ticketmaster subsidiary for failing to stem the use of automated ticketing bots and large-scale resale operations.

The Trump administration is not attacking the "excesses" of "woke" scholarship. They're at war with the very idea of power analysis, with the feeling of deep empathy with the oppressed, with ethical commitment to make a just world.

GRB 250702B: Discovery of a Gamma-Ray Burst from a Black Hole Falling into a Star
Gamma-ray bursts are the most luminous electromagnetic events in the universe. Their prompt gamma-ray emission has typical durations between a fraction of a second and several minutes. A rare subset of these events have durations in excess of a thousand seconds, referred to as ultra-long gamma-ray bursts. Here, we report the discovery of the longest gamma-ray burst ever seen with a ~25,000 s gamma-ray duration, GRB 250702B, and characterize this event using data from four instruments in the Int…

Curtis Yarvin wears racial hatred as a badge of honor
—and clearly doesn't come into contact with people of color on a regular basis.
Yarvin, who hides behind a screen, wouldn't have the guts to utter these slurs on the street. -- In the real world, that kind of talk tends to carry consequences.
Instead, he flings epithets from the safety of his tony Craftsman home in ultra-liberal Berkeley, performing racism online for an audience of anonymous far-right Twitter use…

Curtis Yarvin Just Can’t Stop Using This Racist Word
His slurs are public. His ideas are toxic. But to men like JD Vance, Yarvin is still worth following.
