Modeling Magnetoelastic Wave Interactions in Magnetic Films and Heterostructures: A finite-difference approach
The (inverse) magnetostrictive effect in ferromagnets couples the magnetic properties to the mechanical stress, allowing for an interaction between the magnetic and mechanical degrees of freedom. In this work, we present a time-integration scheme for the self-consistent simulation of coupled magnetoelastic dynamics within the framework of finite-difference micromagnetism. The proposed implementation extends the Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert equation by a strain-induced effective field and concurrentl…

Starting today, the Swiss Post sells a special stamp to commemorate the granting of the patent for the toilet cleaner with the special duck design 45 years ago to Swiss inventor Walter Düring-Orlob.
And yes, it smells like the citrus version of the cleaner.

One thing that's bothered me about the aftermath of the loss at Stamford Bridge is the punditry acting like Cucurella's comment that they targeted the space behind Salah shows some sort of tactical brilliance by Maresca.
Literally EVERY team flings diagonal balls into space on that flank, a known risk and a calculation that Salah's lethality will negate a willingness for the LB to go forward and join the attack.
The real story is that he's not been dangerous and c…

Gaming Worlds Could Be The Answer To AI’s Data Problem
Stanford PhDs Fan-Yun Sun and Sharon Lee cofounded AI research company Moonlake AI to help people "vibe code virtual worlds."

"A confusing contradiction is unfolding in companies embracing generative AI tools: while workers are largely following mandates to embrace the technology, few are seeing it create real value. [...] In collaboration with Stanford Social Media Lab, our research team at BetterUp Labs has identified one possible reason: Employees are using AI tools to create low-effort, passable looking work that ends up creating more work for their coworkers."
"Unlike this mental outsourc…

AI-Generated “Workslop” Is Destroying Productivity
Despite a surge in generative AI use across workplaces, most companies are seeing little measurable ROI. One possible reason is because AI tools are being used to produce “workslop”—content that appears polished but lacks real substance, offloading cognitive labor onto coworkers. Research from BetterUp Labs and Stanford found that 41% of workers have encountered such AI-generated output, costing nearly two hours of rework per instance and creating downstream productivity, trust, and colla…

Rigidity aspects of a cosmological singularity theorem
Inspired by the classical singularity theorems in General Relativity, Galloway and Ling have shown the following (cf. Theorem 0): If a globally hyperbolic spacetime satisfying the null energy condition contains a closed, spacelike Cauchy surface $(V,g,K)$ (with metric $g$ and extrinsic curvature ${K}$) which is strictly 2-convex (meaning that the sum of the lowest two eigenvalues of $K$ is positive) then $V$ is either a spherical space or past null geodesically incomplete \cite{Ling, Ling2}.
