Cleaner air may be accelerating warming by making clouds less reflective
Earth is reflecting less sunlight, and absorbing more heat, than it did several decades ago. Global warming is advancing faster than climate models predicted, with observed temperatures exceeding projections in 2023 and 2024. These trends have scientists scrambling to understand why the atmosphere is letting more light in.

"Dr. Charles Misner, who passed away in 2023 at the age of 91, was a professor of physics at the University of Maryland from 1963 to 2000, and a renowned expert in General Relativity. He was the recipient of the Albert Einstein medal in 2015, and was the co-author of “Gravitation”, one of the best-selling books in the subject of General Relativity, featuring none other than Kip Thorne on the cover."

Given the pervasiveness and versatility of computers in our world of 2025 it is easy to ignore that 80 years ago they were initially conceived as what we would call today a calculator, specifically created to solve tedious mathematical problems. Of course, users of TikTok, Call of Duty, YouTube, Visual Studio Code, or even readers of this website through some web browser like Firefox are usually (and blissfully) unaware of the gazillion computations per second that it takes to produce everythin…

The UC-Davis medical school's class of 1972 was mostly white and male. The class of 2026 is among the most diverse in the nation — without race-based admissions.

Infrared Synchrotron Emission in the Soft State of GX 339-4 and the Mid-Infrared/X-ray Luminosity Plane of Black Hole X-ray Binaries
Progress in understanding the growth of accreting black holes remains hampered by a lack of sensitive coordinated multiwavelength observations. In particular, the mid-infrared (MIR) regime remains ill-explored except for jet-dominant states. Here, we present comprehensive follow-up of the black hole X-ray binary GX 339-4 during a disc-dominated state in its 2023/24 outburst as part of a multi-wavelength campaign coordinated around JWST/MIRI. The X-ray properties are fairly typical of soft accre…

Assessment of Socioeconomic Determinants of Voting Patterns: A Spatio-Temporal and Multinomial Logits Analysis of the 2023 Nigerian Presidential Election
In Nigeria, electoral behavior is often interpreted through ethno-religious views and regional allegiances, without empirically assessing the influence of socioeconomic indicators such as health, income, education, and other deprivations on voter behavior. This study investigates the voting pattern in the 2023 Nigerian presidential election and previous cycles using spatio-temporal and multivariate analysis. It examines whether support for some candidates was more substantial in states with hig…
