D.C. judge excoriates Trump policing surge, demands answers from Pirro
A federal magistrate judge overseeing a torrent of cases during President Donald Trump’s policing surge in D.C.
condemned administration officials at a hearing Thursday,
saying they were trampling people’s rights
by overcharging them with felonies and then moving slowly to dismiss the weakest cases
while the defendants languished in jail.

The blistering remarks by Magistrate Judge Zia …

Responding to Magistrate Judge Zia M. Faruqui’s remarks regarding President Donald Trump’s policing surge in D.C., U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro said the judge “has allowed his politics to consistently cloud his judgment.”

Chirality-Induced Orbital-Angular-Momentum Selectivity in Electron Transmission and Scattering
Chirality-induced orbital-angular-momentum selectivity (CIOAMS) in electron transmission and scattering processes is investigated. Polarization of the OAM of an electron traversing chiral media is first studied via electronic wavepacket propagation using the time-dependent Schrödinger equation. Next, spatial resolution of wavepackets carrying opposite OAM, following scattering from a corrugated surface is demonstrated. This suggests that OAM may play a significant role in the mechanisms underl…

A judge has ruled that, for now,
asylum seekers are not required to pay an annual fee for each year their application is pending.
The ruling was in response to a lawsuit filed by the Asylum Seeker Advocacy Project (ASAP.)
The so-called One Big Beautiful Bill, which became law on July 4, 2025,
instituted a new fee system for people in the immigration system,
including asylum seekers.
The legislation requires that they pay a $100 filing fee and an Annual A…

Judge Rules Asylum Seekers Do Not Have to Pay Annual Fee, For Now

The 2020 Superburst of 4U 1608-522 and its impact on the accretion disk
Superbursts are rare events observed from bursting neutron star low mass X-ray binaries. They are thought to originate from unstable burning of the thick layer of Carbon on the surface of the neutron star, causing the observed X-ray flashes to last several hours. Given their fluence it has long been thought that superbursts may have significant effects on the accretion flow around the neutron star. In this paper, we first present evidence for a new superburst observed from 4U 1608-522 by MAXI d…

Julia sets appear quasiconformally in the Mandelbrot set, II: A parabolic proof
Following the ideas of A.~Douady, we give an alternative proof of the authors' result: for any boundary point $c_0$ of the Mandelbrot set $M$, we can find small quasiconformal copies of $M$ in $M$ that are encaged in nested quasiconformal copies of the totally disconnected Julia set of a parameter arbitrarily close to $c_0$.
