John Oliver discusses the Trump administration’s promise to deport one million immigrants,
what the follow through on that promise looks like in practice,
what the actual rules are about masked police arresting civilians across the country,
and some stuff about filmmaker Dean Cain.

I had seven moles surgically removed yesterday because my dermatologist didn't like the way they looked.
So now I have stitches all over my body and I'm not allowed to stretch unduly to prevent the sutures from coming apart.
I guess that's one way to keep me from reaching anything but the lowest hanging fruits.

Momentum-Resolved Relaxation-Time Approach for Size-Dependent Conductivity in Anisotropic Metallic Films
Shrinking CMOS interconnect dimensions to the nanometer scale intensifies electron scattering at surfaces, interfaces, and grain boundaries, causing severe conductivity loss and challenging copper-based designs. Here we present a momentum-resolved relaxation time framework that integrates density functional theory with the semiclassical Boltzmann transport equation to predict size-dependent resistivity in metallic thin films. Electron phonon interactions are computed from first principles, and …

Enhanced superconductivity in ultrathin FeSe films on SrTiO3 via resonant anti-shielding: Superconductivity meets superfluidity
A vanishingly small dielectric function reflects a singular polarization response in a medium, leading to collective plasmonic or polaronic excitations that can enhance Cooper pairing in superconductors via a resonant anti-shielding (RAS) effect. Here, we show that RAS can explain the dramatic enhancement of superconductivity-relative to bulk FeSe, observed in single-unit-cell FeSe films on SrTiO$_3$ (STO) and related substrates. Moreover, we present evidence that RAS may play a central role in…

How to Be Accountable to Yourself and Why It Matters
What if the promises you make to yourself mattered just as much as the ones you make to others? Self-accountability starts with knowing your line and following through.

Generating CodeMeta using declarative mapping rules: An open-ended approach using ShExML
Nowadays, software is one of the cornerstones when conducting research in several scientific fields which employ computer-based methodologies to answer new research questions. However, for these experiments to be completely reproducible, research software should comply with the FAIR principles, yet its metadata can be represented following different data models and spread across different locations. In order to bring some cohesion to the field, CodeMeta was proposed as a vocabulary to represent…

Co-Investigator AI: The Rise of Agentic AI for Smarter, Trustworthy AML Compliance Narratives
Generating regulatorily compliant Suspicious Activity Report (SAR) remains a high-cost, low-scalability bottleneck in Anti-Money Laundering (AML) workflows. While large language models (LLMs) offer promising fluency, they suffer from factual hallucination, limited crime typology alignment, and poor explainability -- posing unacceptable risks in compliance-critical domains. This paper introduces Co-Investigator AI, an agentic framework optimized to produce Suspicious Activity Reports (SARs) sign…

The U.S. Department of Education recently sent MIT and eight other institutions
a proposed
“Compact for Academic Excellence in Higher Education,"
along with a letter asking that MIT review the document.
After considerable thought and consultation with leaders from across MIT,
today I sent the following reply to U.S. Education Secretary Linda McMahon.
Sincerely,
Sally Kornbluth,
MIT president
