How do you broadband? Openreach reveals UK hotspot map
Whether it’s online shopping, gaming or TV super streaming, your most likely broadband habits depend on where you live in the UK, Openreach reveals today.In the first research of its kind to mark 25 years of home broadband in the UK, Openreach, has combined its own data with extensive consumer research to map the UK cities by their online acti...

Well there goes OVH again, even their own website is down for everyone in Europe.
I would probably consider posting a screenshot of it, except my Mastodon instance is hosted in Europe and the media storage is hosted at OVH so that is clearly not going to work.

Passive radiative cooling using temperature-dependent emissivity can sometimes outperform static emitters
In passive sky-facing radiative cooling, wavelength-selective thermal emitters in the atmospheric transparency window of 8-13 $μ$m can reach lower temperatures compared to broadband emitters, but broadband emitters always have higher cooling power when the emitter is warmer than the ambient. Here, we propose a temperature-tunable thermal emitter that switches between a wavelength-selective state -- with high emissivity only in the atmospheric transparency window of 8-13 $μ$m -- and a broadban…

ONLY ON WTOP: Tour Dupont Circle building being celebrated as ‘the birthplace of television’
In a city full of national monuments, an enterprising landlord is declaring the D.C. building of legendary Kramers bookstore as “the birthplace of television.”

High-speed and high-connectivity two-qubit gates in long chains of trapped ions
We present a theoretical study of fast all-to-all entangling gates in trapped-ion quantum processors, based on impulsive excitation of spin-dependent motion with broadband laser pulses. Previous studies have shown that such fast gate schemes are highly scalable and naturally performant outside the Lamb-Dicke regime, however are limited to nearest-neighbour operations. Here we demonstrate that impulsive spin-dependent excitation can be used to perform high-fidelity non-local entangling operation…
