This renowned climate scientist says this is the most difficult time for climate science he’s ever seen
Benjamin Santer has faced pushback on climate research in the past. But this environment feels different ‘because it's so targeted.’

Optical Appearance and Shadow of Kalb-Ramond Black Hole: Effects of Plasma and Accretion Models
In this paper, we study the effect of the presence of plasma and different accretion models on the shadow and optical appearance of static spherically symmetric black holes containing the Kalb-Ramond field. We derive the motion equations for photons around the Kalb-Ramond black hole and constrain the Lorentz symmetry breaking parameters $λ$ and $γ$ using observational data released by the Event Horizon Telescope collaboration. The results indicate that, under the static spherical accretion mo…

In every iOS beta the Liquid Glass stuff keeps getting worse.
Instead of admitting the obvious (transparent interfaces don’t work), they’re desperately trying to fix it.
Reminds me of LLMs, to be honest.

Lots of people are suggesting Apple’s own Reminders app, so perhaps it’s worth explaining why it doesn’t work for me.
I use Reminders all the time as a grocery list, and I find the UI reasonable for that. However, for tasks, I find it confusing and noisy (I prefer Todoist), and I don’t think it’s actually very good at reminding me to do things. It tries once, and gives up until the next day! A strange behaviour, for an app named “Reminders”.

Magnetic Field Configurations in Binary Neutron Star Mergers I: Post-merger Remnant and Disk
We present a suite of general relativistic magnetohydrodynamic (GRMHD) simulations of binary neutron star (BNS) mergers performed with the code GR-Athena++. We investigate how a different initial magnetic field configuration, nuclear equation of state, or binary mass ratio affects the magnetic and thermodynamic evolution of the post-merger remnant and disk. We also analyze the impact of the commonly-assumed reflection (bitant) symmetry across the equatorial plane. Magnetic field amplification o…

"If a billionaire bought one of your local haunts, renamed it, humiliated the employees, brought back many of the people who’d been banned for harassing other regulars, eliminated basic rules of decency, started having town halls with Republicans and a leader of the #AfD, taking your business elsewhere would be perfectly rational."

A Non-Commutative Kalb-Ramond Black Hole
This work presents a new black hole solution within the framework of a non-commutative gauge theory applied to Kalb-Ramond gravity. Using the method recently proposed in the literature [Nucl.Phys.B 1017 (2025) 116950], we employ the Moyal twist $\partial_r \wedge \partial_θ$ to implement non-commutativity, being encoded by parameter $Θ$. We begin by verifying that the resulting black hole no longer possesses spherical symmetry, while the event horizon remains unaffected by non-commutative cor…

Discovery of diffuse $γ$-ray emission in the vicinity of G213.0-0.6: Supernova remnant versus massive star-forming region
We report the discovery of high-energy $γ$-ray emission in the vicinity of G213.0-0.6, which is debated as a supernova remnant (SNR) or an ionized hydrogen (H$_{\rm{II}}$) region. Using 16-yr Pass 8 data from Fermi Large Area Telescope (Fermi-LAT), we found three extended sources with different photon spectra in this region, which will label as SrcA, SrcB and SrcC. Among them, the $γ$-ray source SrcA with a log-parabola spectrum is spatially coincident with a star-forming region and several O…
