Efficient ultrafast photoacoustic transduction on Tantalum thin films
Nano-acoustic strain generation in thin metallic films via ultrafast laser excitation is widely used in material science, imaging and medical applications. Recently, it was shown that transition metals, such as Titanium, exhibit enhanced photoacoustic transduction properties compared to noble metals, such as Silver. This work presents experimental results and simulations that demonstrate that among transition metals Tantalum exhibits superior photoacoustic properties. Experiments of nano-acoust…

Ashley King went to a bar on a Bali vacation in 2011, and woke up blind just a few days later
— a result of drinks spiked with methanol.
"I woke up in my hostel and I wasn't able to breathe. And shortly after I wasn't able to see,"
said King, a 32-year-old Calgary woman who is sharing her story in a new podcast called Static: A Party Girl's Memoir.
King was 19 at the time, on her last night in Bali before flying to New Zealand the next day.

Ashley King woke up blind after her drinks were tainted with methanol during a vacation in Bali. She’s warning others of the fatal consequences of methanol poisoning.

More than 343,000 hectares (848,000 acres) of land – the equivalent of nearly half a million football pitches [or a suare with sides 58.6 km long] – have been destroyed this year in Spain, setting a new national record, according to the European Forest Fire Information System (EFFIS)

Wildfires rage across Spain and Portugal as record area of land burned
Wildfires in Spain and Portugal burn record land and force evacuations as heatwave and drought spur the flames.

Beyond Random Masking: A Dual-Stream Approach for Rotation-Invariant Point Cloud Masked Autoencoders
Existing rotation-invariant point cloud masked autoencoders (MAE) rely on random masking strategies that overlook geometric structure and semantic coherence. Random masking treats patches independently, failing to capture spatial relationships consistent across orientations and overlooking semantic object parts that maintain identity regardless of rotation. We propose a dual-stream masking approach combining 3D Spatial Grid Masking and Progressive Semantic Masking to address these fundamental l…

Detective quantum efficiency based comparison of HRTEM and ptychography phase imaging
High-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) is an important method for imaging beam sensitive materials often under cryo conditions. Electron ptychography in the scanning transmission electron microscope (STEM) has been shown to reconstruct low-noise phase data at a reduced fluence for such materials. This raises the question of whether ptychography or HRTEM provides a more fluence-efficient imaging technique. Even though the transfer function is a common metric for evaluating the …

Ben Meiselas is a very busy man.
His “pro-democracy” channel MeidasTouch,
which he runs with his younger brothers Jordan and Brett,
puts out 15 or more videos a day, most of them presented by Meiselas himself.
The prolific output is part of the reason The MeidasTouch has become one of the most listened-to podcasts in the US,
routinely beating the mighty Joe Rogan in both video and audio,
and even overtaking Fox News in YouTube views.
