A Hidden Camera Protest Turned the Tables on China’s Surveillance State
Before fleeing China, an activist in Chongqing staged an elaborate one-man demonstration against the Communist Party that doubled as performance art.

MSRepaint: Multiple Sclerosis Repaint with Conditional Denoising Diffusion Implicit Model for Bidirectional Lesion Filling and Synthesis
In multiple sclerosis, lesions interfere with automated magnetic resonance imaging analyses such as brain parcellation and deformable registration, while lesion segmentation models are hindered by the limited availability of annotated training data. To address both issues, we propose MSRepaint, a unified diffusion-based generative model for bidirectional lesion filling and synthesis that restores anatomical continuity for downstream analyses and augments segmentation through realistic data gene…

Ohne Werkstätten kein Radverkehr- Hamburg hält SH über Wasser
Die Landesregierung von SH blockiert einen - es gibt derzeit keinen - Schulstandort für die Ausbildung von Zweiradmechatroniker*innen in Schleswig-Holstein. Derzeit müssen Auszubildende aus dem ganzen Land nach Hamburg reisen. Auch aus den weit entfernten Orten wie Flensburg, Burg oder Niebüll. Selbst wenn die Bahn zuverlässig fährt dauert ein Weg bis zu drei Stunden.

Hürden für Azubis von Fahrradwerkstätten: Was für Ben aus Kiel zum Stresstest wurde
Auf eine Fahrradreparatur müssen Kunden in Werkstätten in Kiel und der Region oft wochenlang warten. Das liegt auch an zu wenigen Zweiradmechatronikern. Ein Grund: Nahezu alle Azubis aus SH müssen zur Berufsschule nach Hamburg fahren – so wie einst Ben Dressler aus Kiel. Liegt die Lösung in Neumünster?

Etching-free dual-lift-off for direct patterning of epitaxial oxide thin films
Although monocrystalline oxide films offer broad functional capabilities, their practical use is hampered by challenges in patterning. Traditional patterning relies on etching, which can be costly and prone to issues like film or substrate damage, under-etching, over-etching, and lateral etching. In this study, we introduce a dual-lift-off method for direct patterning of oxide films, circumventing the etching process and associated issues. Our method involves an initial lift-off of amorphous Sr…

Nuclear fusion plasma fuelling with ice pellets using a neuromorphic controller
In reactor-grade tokamaks, pellet injection is the best candidate for core plasma fuelling. However, density control schemes that can handle the hybrid nature of this type of fuelling, i.e., the discrete impact of the pellets on the continuously evolving plasma density, are lacking. This paper proposes a neuromorphic controller, inspired by the integrate-and-fire neuronal model, to address this problem. The overall system is modelled as a hybrid system, and we analyse the proposed controller in…

As Amazon's 'flying rivers' weaken with tree loss, scientists warn of worsening droughts
Droughts have withered crops in Peru, fires have scorched the Amazon and hydroelectric dams in Ecuador have struggled to keep the lights on as rivers dry up. Scientists say the cause may lie high above the rainforest, where invisible "flying rivers" carry rain from the Atlantic Ocean across South America.
