Following Abrego Garcia’s indictment, Ben Schrader, a high-level DOJ official within the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Nashville
(where the charges against Abrego Garcia were filed)
abruptly resigned from his position.
While Schrader, who ran that office’s criminal division, did not explicitly state that he resigned over the charges,
sources told ABC News that his decision was based on concerns that the allegations against Abrego Garcia were politically motivated.

Precise control of the phase-transition temperature of VO2 from 70 to -35 °C for tunable optics
We demonstrate the combination of metal doping and ion bombardment as a hybrid technique to precisely engineer the insulator-to-metal transition (IMT) properties of vanadium dioxide (VO$_2$) films. This approach enables (i) setting the phase-transition temperature ($T_c$) from $-35$ to $70$ °C, (ii) near-zero hysteresis in highly doped and irradiated films, and (iii) robust optical contrast across a broad range of doping and irradiation conditions, down to $T_c = -35$ °C. While previous work …
