Are you kidding me? 3.40 Euros for a single Espresso?? This was the last time ever at Costa Coffee (Karlsruhe main Station). … Feels like a tourist trap as e.g. Venice, Piazza San Marco…but without Venice ;-)

scSSL-Bench: Benchmarking Self-Supervised Learning for Single-Cell Data
Self-supervised learning (SSL) has proven to be a powerful approach for extracting biologically meaningful representations from single-cell data. To advance our understanding of SSL methods applied to single-cell data, we present scSSL-Bench, a comprehensive benchmark that evaluates nineteen SSL methods. Our evaluation spans nine datasets and focuses on three common downstream tasks: batch correction, cell type annotation, and missing modality prediction. Furthermore, we systematically assess v…

A cavity array microscope for parallel single-atom interfacing
Neutral atom arrays and optical cavity QED systems have developed in parallel as central pillars of modern experimental quantum science. While each platform has demonstrated exceptional capabilities-such as high-fidelity quantum logic in atom arrays, and strong light-matter coupling in cavities-their combination holds promise for realizing fast and non-destructive atom measurement, building large-scale quantum networks, and engineering hybrid atom-photon Hamiltonians. However, to date, experime…

Unobstructed deformations for singular Calabi-Yau varieties
Let $Y$ be a compact Gorenstein analytic space with only isolated singularities and trivial dualizing sheaf. A recent paper of Imagi studies the deformation theory of $Y$ in case the singularities of $Y$ are weighted homogeneous and rational and $Y$ is Kähler. In this note, assuming that $H^1(Y;\mathcal{O}_Y) =0$, we generalize Imagi's results to the case where the singularities of $Y$ are Du Bois, with no assumption that they be weighted homogeneous, and where the Kähler assumption is replac…

Trump has ordered the US government to consolidate its wildland firefighting force into a single program,
despite warnings from former federal officials that it could be costly and increase the risk of catastrophic blazes in the middle of peak wildfire season.
The order aims to centralize firefighting efforts,
which are now split among five agencies and two cabinet departments.
Trump’s proposed budget for next year calls for the creation of a new Federal Wildland Fire…
