Economic fears of investors are here — and fed by Trump’s reaction

“Jerome ‘Too Late’ Powell, a stubborn MORON, must substantially lower interest rates, NOW,”
Trump wrote on social media,
one week after telling reporters the Fed chief was “a very good man.”

The president has repeatedly mused about a near-unprecedented firing of Powell for refusing to cut rates to levels normally seen during profound economic weakness.
This week, the Fed’s monetary policy com…

Economic fears of investors are here — and fed by Trump’s reaction
President Donald Trump’s economic policies have sparked controversy and uncertainty, with a recent jobs report fueling concerns about the economy’s health.

covid and flu shot today. pharmacist got out the 1-meter-long syringe filled with a liter of reddish liquid, and he seemed disappointed I didn't flinch. maybe I should have grabbed the two regular syringes he already laid out on the table, and used those to counter-attack

‘We can have abundant rivers and wildlife’: Director of ‘The American Southwest’ on new film
At its roots, The American Southwest, from Fin and Fur Films, is a natural history documentary. “I’m a wildlife guy,” says director Ben Masters, who founded Fin and Fur in 2012. His infatuation with nature comes through in the film’s exploration of the southwestern United States, traced along the path of the Colorado River from […]

Consistent control of drying rates of solution thin films on wafer-sized substrates by dynamic air-knife drying with optimal trajectories
This work tackles the problem of achieving consistent drying rates of a solution film deposited on a $20\,\rm{cm}$-wide substrate ($\approx $ silicon-wafer size) that is driven under a narrow air flow ejected by a slot nozzle (or "air knife"). The main prerequisite of the work is that the drying rate of the solution film is highly decisive for a certain performance indicator of the deposited film at a particular, critical concentration $c_{\rm crit.}$. Empirically, this concentration can be ass…

Three-fold Superstructured Superlattice HfN/HfAlN Thin Films for Enhanced Toughness
To simultaneously achieve high hardness and high toughness in protective coatings remains a fundamental challenge. Here, we harness the superlattice architecture to combine Koehler hardening while the coherent interfaces reduce the crack driving force and improve toughness, enabling coatings that are both hard and damage tolerant. We design and fabricate epitaxial HfN$_{1.33}$/Hf$_{0.76}$Al$_{0.24}$N$_{1.15}$ superlattices, deposited on MgO(001) substrates using low-energy, high-flux ion-assist…
