That sinking feeling: Australia’s Limestone Coast is drying up https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2025/jun/05/that-sinking-feeling-australias-limestone-coast-is-drying-up

The Trump administration found
“no viable path” forward
to complete California’s high-speed rail project
following a nearly four-month investigation that jeopardizes
$4 billion in federal funding.
In a 310-page compliance review released Wednesday,
the Department of Transportation cited budget shortfalls,
missed deadlines and a misleading projected ridership to connect San Francisco to Los Angeles via fast rail.
The review targets federal gran…

Trump administration moves to pull funding on high-speed rail
The Trump administration could pull $4 billion in federal funding from California's high-speed rail project within 37 days, following a Department of Transportation compliance review.

According to capitalists:
✅ Working for a company like Google or Microsoft that is complicit in genocide.
❌ Displaying images of the genocide.
Maybe if the consequences of your work are considered “Not Safe For Work”, you shouldn’t be doing that work in the first place.*
But, no, it’s just much easier to look away, isn’t it? After all, you’re just following orders, right?
* Update: because I just *know* that someone will pipe in maliciously with “oh, so you mean…

Study of Optical Properties of MOCVD-Grown Rutile GeO2 Films
Rutile germanium dioxide (r-GeO$_2$) is a promising ultra-wide bandgap (UWBG) semiconductor, offering a high theoretical Baliga figure of merit, potential for p-type doping, and favorable thermal and electrical properties. In this work, we present a comprehensive optical investigation of crystalline r-GeO$_2$ thin films grown on r-TiO$_2$ (001) substrates via metal-organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD). Cathodoluminescence (CL) spectroscopy reveals broad visible emissions with distinct peak…

There are days when autism feels overwhelming, and I find myself oversharing every thought and feeling that comes to mind.
But then, just as suddenly, my mood can shift. I’ll feel a surge of energy and want to shake things up.
That’s when I dive into my collection of anarchism memes and start posting my latest finds for everyone to enjoy!
We are here, unapologetically autistic and proud, and we refuse to be silenced!

Report exposes key players spreading climate disinformation
A new report has revealed how political figures, fossil fuel interests and foreign states are shaping climate denial worldwide.

1/ f noise and two-level systems in MBE-grown Al thin films
Aluminum thin films are essential to the functionalities of electronic and quantum devices, where two-level systems (TLS) can degrade device performance. MBE-grown Al films may appeal to these applications due to their low TLS densities. We studied the energy distributions of TLS densities, g(E), in 10-nm-thick MBE-grown and electron-beam evaporated Al films through 1/f noise measurements between 80 and 360 K. At 300 K, the noise magnitudes in MBE-grown films are about three times lower than in…
