Es gibt einen neuen Dokfilm über die Proteste gegen die WTO-Tagung 1999 in Seattle, Auftakt der Anti-Globalisierungsbewegung und auch der Start von #Indymedia vor 26 Jahren.

As a non-binary person living in #Bergen, #Norway, this video made me cry from pure euphoria, a wave of relief knowing I am seen just as I am.
I hope it brings you the same confidence and happiness, showing that you are truly seen and celebrated for who you are.

Non-Hermitian Skin Effect and Electronic Nonlocal Transport
Open quantum systems governed by non-Hermitian effective Hamiltonians exhibit unique phenomena, such as the non-Hermitian skin effect, where eigenstates localize at system boundaries. We investigate this effect in a Rashba nanowire coupled to a ferromagnetic lead and demonstrate that it can be detected via non-local transport spectroscopy: while local conductance remains symmetric, the non-local conductance becomes non-reciprocal. We account for this behavior using both conventional transport a…

I just finished Guild Wars: Prophecies. It took me 19.5 years.
I created my first character way back when the game was new, but I never finished the campaign. The upcoming Reforged update got me interested again. Together with a friend and 3 very friendly strangers we played through the remaining 3 missions.
From boss tactics to tounge-in-cheek comments about the dated cutscenes It was just the perfect MMO game night for me.

Expectations for the first supermassive black-hole binary resolved by PTAs II: Milestones for binary characterization
Following the recent evidence for a gravitational wave (GW) background found by pulsar timing array (PTA) experiments, the next major science milestone is resolving individual supermassive black hole binaries (SMBHBs). The detection of these systems could arise via searches using a power-based GW anisotropy model or a deterministic template model. In Schult et al. 2025, we compared the efficacy of these models in constraining the GW signal from a single SMBHB using realistic, near-future PTA da…

I like my individualized mail addresses. I just received a phishing mail to update my data with a Swiss payment system (TWINT) - but it was sent to an address I created for a doctor's appointment system (Onedoc).
The message also contains my postal address from the time I created that account.

A Hermetic, Transparent Soft Growing Vine Robot System for Pipe Inspection
Rehabilitation of aging pipes requires accurate condition assessment and mapping far into the pipe interiors. Soft growing vine robot systems are particularly promising for navigating confined, sinuous paths such as in pipes, but are currently limited by complex subsystems and a lack of validation in real-world industrial settings. In this paper, we introduce the concept and implementation of a hermetic and transparent vine robot system for visual condition assessment and mapping within non-bra…

Least Energy Solutions for Cooperative and Competitive Schrödinger Systems with Neumann Boundary Conditions
We study the following gradient elliptic system with Neumann boundary conditions \begin{equation*} -Δu + λ_1 u = u^3 + βuv^2, \ -Δv + λ_2 v = v^3 + βu^2 v \ \text{in } Ω,\qquad \frac{\partial u}{\partial ν} = \frac{\partial v}{\partial ν} = 0 \ \text{on } \partial Ω, \end{equation*} where $Ω\subset \mathbb{R}^N $ is a bounded $ C^2$ domain with $ N \leq 4 $, and $ ν$ denotes the outward unit normal on the boundary. We investigate the existence of non-constant least energy solutions …

Coupling induced emergent topology in a two-leg fermionic ladder
We investigate the ground state properties of spinless fermions on a two leg ladder, by allowing the nearest-neighbour hopping dimerization in one leg and uniform hopping in the other. In the non-interacting limit, we find that, at half-filling, the system exhibits robust topological behavior if the inter-leg hopping is allowed. As a result, a topological phase transition occurs as a function of the inter-leg hopping. When the inter-leg interaction is turned on, the topological phase survives, …

Matchmaker: An Open-source Library for Real-time Piano Score Following and Systematic Evaluation
Real-time music alignment, also known as score following, is a fundamental MIR task with a long history and is essential for many interactive applications. Despite its importance, there has not been a unified open framework for comparing models, largely due to the inherent complexity of real-time processing and the language- or system-dependent implementations. In addition, low compatibility with the existing MIR environment has made it difficult to develop benchmarks using large datasets avail…
