Big news for the energy transition!
And a nice little 'told you so' moment for yours truly :)
In the first half of this year, renewables produced more electricity globally than coal, for the first time.
And 2025 is the date I predicted for this to happen, back in 2016, in a blog post for Ecofys! The score was 23%-40% at the time, with most of the renewables share still coming from hydro, and the prediction was less than obvious.

RTQA : Recursive Thinking for Complex Temporal Knowledge Graph Question Answering with Large Language Models
Current temporal knowledge graph question answering (TKGQA) methods primarily focus on implicit temporal constraints, lacking the capability of handling more complex temporal queries, and struggle with limited reasoning abilities and error propagation in decomposition frameworks. We propose RTQA, a novel framework to address these challenges by enhancing reasoning over TKGs without requiring training. Following recursive thinking, RTQA recursively decomposes questions into sub-problems, solves …

The ASPIICS solar coronagraph aboard the Proba-3 formation flying mission. Scientific objectives and instrument design
We describe the scientific objectives and instrument design of the ASPIICS coronagraph launched aboard the Proba-3 mission of the European Space Agency (ESA) on 5 December 2024. Proba-3 consists of two spacecraft in a highly elliptical orbit around the Earth. One spacecraft carries the telescope, and the external occulter is mounted on the second spacecraft. The two spacecraft fly in a precise formation during 6 hours out of 19.63 hour orbit, together forming a giant solar coronagraph called AS…

Sliced Space-filling Design with Mixtures
In this paper, we proposes the construction methods of sliced space-filling design when the quantitative factors are mixture components. Leveraging the representative points framework for distribution and energy distance decomposition theory, this paper proposes three methods for constructing sliced representative points and establishes their distributional convergence. Furthermore, one-shot and sequential algorithms for generating sliced space-filling mixture design for experiments with proces…

Nice vertices in cubic graphs
A subgraph $G'$ of a graph $G$ is nice if $G-V(G')$ has a perfect matching. Nice subgraphs play a vital role in the theory of ear decomposition and matching minors of matching covered graphs. A vertex $u$ of a cubic graph is nice if $u$ and its neighbors induce a nice subgraph. D. Král et al. (2010) [9] showed that each vertex of a cubic brick is nice. It is natural to ask how many nice vertices a matching covered cubic graph has. In this paper, using some basic results of matching covered gra…
