Violinist composes music from moth flight data to highlight insect decline
Music and science collide in Moth x Human, a new composition by violinist Ellie Wilson that transforms moth flight data into a haunting tribute to these overlooked pollinators

I gotta share a clip. I was in GTA5 story mode...and found I could go to director mode and build up to the ufo above fort zancudo...then as Trevor I "walled in" the UFO and then jumped in and tested the mechanics...it is true that it pushes you away if you fall on it without a parachute...and it behaves different if you are falling with the parachute(cause then you collide with it and if not in god mode, you die)
While if you land with a parachute, it won't push you away!…

RESOLVE: Rare Event Surrogate Likelihood for Gravitational Wave Paleontology Parameter Estimation
The first detection of gravitational waves, recognized by the 2017 Nobel Prize in Physics, has opened up a new research field: gravitational-wave paleontology. When massive stars evolve into black holes and collide, they create gravitational waves that propagate through space and time. These gravitational-waves, now detectable on Earth, act as fossils tracing the histories of the massive stars that created them. Estimating physics parameters of these massive stars from detected gravitational-wa…

Berry Monopole Scattering in the Synthetic Momentum Space of a Bilayer Photonic Crystal Slab
Berry monopoles-quantized sources of Berry curvature-are fundamental to topological phases, yet their scattering remains unexplored. Here, we report for the first time the adiabatic scattering of Berry monopoles in a bilayer photonic crystal slab combining one genuine and one synthetic momentum. Two monopoles approach, collide, and scatter within this hybrid parameter space. The process is described by an effective coupled-mode model and confirmed by full-wave simulations. We further propose an…

"I made this (sort of)": Negotiating authorship, confronting fraudulence, and exploring new musical spaces with prompt-based AI music generation
I reflect on my experience creating two music albums centered on state-of-the-art prompt-based AI music generation platforms. The first album explicitly poses the question: What happens when I collide my junk mail with these platforms? The second album is a direct response to the first, and toys with the inability of state-of-the-art prompt-based AI music generation platforms to generate music that is not ``practiced'', ``polished'', and ``produced''. I seed a large language model (LLM) with in…

PhysGaia: A Physics-Aware Dataset of Multi-Body Interactions for Dynamic Novel View Synthesis
We introduce PhysGaia, a novel physics-aware dataset specifically designed for Dynamic Novel View Synthesis (DyNVS), encompassing both structured objects and unstructured physical phenomena. Unlike existing datasets that primarily focus on photorealistic reconstruction, PhysGaia is created to actively support physics-aware dynamic scene modeling. Our dataset provides complex dynamic scenarios with rich interactions among multiple objects, where they realistically collide with each other and exc…

Dark wounds on icy moons: Ganymede's subsurface ocean as a dark matter detector
Dark matter in the form of macroscopic composites is largely unconstrained at masses of $\sim 10^{11}- 10^{17}$ g. In this mass range, dark matter may collide with planetary bodies, depositing an immense amount of energy and leaving dramatic surface features that remain detectable on geological timescales. In this paper, we show that Ganymede, the largest Jovian moon, provides a prime target to search for dark matter impacts due to its differentiated composition and Gyr-old surface. We study th…
