The orbital-driven topological phase transition and planar Hall responses in ternary tellurides Weyl semi-metals
Here we study electronic properties of the ternary tellurides TaXTe$_4$ (X=Rh, Ir) using density functional theory and investigate chiral anomaly mediated planar Hall response from ab initio calculations. We show that TaRhTe$_4$ is a hybrid Weyl semimetal (WSM), hosting Weyl points (WPs) of both type-I, type-II, while TaIrTe$_4$ is a type-II WSM as it hosts only type-II WPs with spin-orbit couplings (SOC). All WPs lie in the $k_z=0$ plane, and remain well-separated in both momentum and energy l…

Two interesting articles about the dubious financials of OpenAI and the recent NVIDIA earnings report (which regardless of positive outcome triggered a sell-off):

The Structural Collapse: How Google’s Integrated Stack Is Dismantling the OpenAI Thesis
A leaked internal memo reveals the tectonic shift reshaping artificial intelligence, where platform economics are defeating venture-backed innovation at the exact moment markets assumed the opposite.

We initially set out to write a
David-vs.-Goliath narrative
about the town’s response to the
COVID crisis.
But there came a turning point
at which we realized there were more enduring questions and challenges facing Albany than COVID-19.
They were about #race and #power.

The virus had killed about 38 people, most of them Black, by April 2020. But when a white judge died, local officials made sure to announce her name.

Analytical analysis of the spin wave dispersion in the cycloidal spin structures under the influence of magneto-electric coupling
Spin waves and coupling of the spin waves with electromagnetic waves are considered in the multiferroic materials with the electric dipole moment proportional to the scalar product of spins. Dispersion dependence for the spin waves propagating as the perturbation of the equilibrium state described by spin cycloid is found. The dielectric permeability as the response on the electromagnetic perturbations associated with the magneto-electric coupling for the same equilibrium state is calculated.

“After four universities rejected the Trump administration’s compact for higher education, the White House is planning to meet Friday afternoon with the remaining five that have yet to respond.
The source with knowledge of the White House’s plans said that the meeting “appears to be an effort to regain momentum by threatening institutions to sign even though it’s obviously not in the schools’ interest to do so.”

Anatomy of a crypto meltdown
October 2025 brought the most dramatic crypto flash crash of all time, but it was only a dress rehearsal for the systemic crisis the industry is building toward.

Questions remain about how leaders at the Los Angeles fire department responded to a fire that leveled entire communities,
and who within the agency knew about concerns the fire could still pose a threat.
A former LA city councilor says the aftermath and recovery effort should serve as a Pearl Harbor moment for the city,
which should never again be in a position with flames encroaching on all sides.
The LA Times has published a series of bombshell revelationsabout th…
