The Role of Legacy Mobile Networks in Infrastructure Resilience: Evidence from the Southern Brazil Flood
This paper investigates the resilience of mobile communication networks during the extreme flooding that affected Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil, in May 2024. Based on regulatory data and technical insights from operators, the study identifies the leading causes of mobile network disruptions, primarily related to flooding and prolonged power outages. The results reveal the significant vulnerability of modern networks (4G/5G) during the event and the essential role played by legacy technologies (2G/3…

Banks bet big on fossil fuels, boosting financing in 2024, report finds
Financing for the fossil fuel sector from the world’s largest banks surged in 2024 to $869 billion, according to a recent report by the Rainforest Action Network (RAN) and other environmental groups. That figure represents an increase of nearly 23% compared to 2023. The $162.5 billion increase channeled to companies doing business in fossil fuels […]

On Global Rates for Regularization Methods based on Secant Derivative Approximations
An inexact framework for high-order adaptive regularization methods is presented, in which approximations may be used for the $p$th-order tensor, based on lower-order derivatives. Between each recalculation of the $p$th-order derivative approximation, a high-order secant equation can be used to update the $p$th-order tensor as proposed in (Welzel 2024) or the approximation can be kept constant in a lazy manner. When refreshing the $p$th-order tensor approximation after $m$ steps, an exact evalu…

China überschreitet als erstes Land der Welt die Marke von 1.000 GW Solarleistung
Münster – China entwickelt sich immer schneller zum Motor für den globalen Ausbau der erneuerbaren Energien. Allein in den ersten sechs Monaten des Jahres 2025 wurden in China neue Solaranlagen mit einer Leistung von 210 GW (210.000 MW) neu errichtet. Das ist deutlich mehr als die gesamte installierte Solarleistung in den USA mit rund 178 GW (IRENA, 2024); Deutschland liegt Ende letzten Jahres bei 100 GW (MaStR, BNetzA).

The Uranus Flagship: Investigating New Paradigms for Outer Solar System Exploration Workshop Summary Report
This white paper is a summary of the Uranus Flagship Workshop that took place 21 to 23 May 2024 at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center. Co-led by Goddard and Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Lab conveners, we had a broad, international, Science Organizing Committee, and a largely early career Local Organizing Committee from APL and GSFC. From prior workshops, it was apparent that the community was wildly enthusiastic about starting a mission, but lacked focus on what was possible or where to begin.…

Long-term simultaneous 2.25/8.60~GHz monitoring of the newly-discovered repeating FRB~20240114A
We report on the simultaneous monitoring of the repeating fast radio burst (FRB) 20240114A at 2.25 and 8.60~GHz, conducted 66 times between 2024 January 29 and 2025 February 15 with the Shanghai Tianma Radio Telescope (TMRT). In about 180 hours of observation, we detected 155 bursts at 2.25~GHz above a fluence threshold of 0.72~Jy~ms, but none at 8.60~GHz above a fluence threshold of 0.27~Jy~ms. FRB~20240114A exhibited frequency-dependent activity, as evidenced by the non-detections in 14.3 hou…

Non-uniform bounds for non-normal approximation via Stein's method with applications to the Curie--Weiss model and the imitative monomer-dimer model

Non-uniform bounds for non-normal approximation via Stein's method with applications to the Curie--Weiss model and the imitative monomer-dimer model
This paper establishes a non-uniform Berry--Esseen bound for non-normal approximation using Stein's method. The main theorem generalizes the result of the authors in [Comptes Rendus Mathematique, 2024] to the context of non-normal approximation. As an application of the main result, we derive non-uniform Berry--Esseen bounds in non-central limit theorems for the magnetization in the Curie--Weiss model and the imitative monomer-dimer model. These extend some existing results in the literature, i…

Can Quantum Physics Help Fight Climate Change? A Thematic Analysis of Press Release Narratives
The climate crisis demands innovative solutions and quantum technologies are considered by some a potential solution (Berger et al., 2021; Calvin et al., 2023). The United Nations declared 2025 the International Year of Quantum Science and Technology (United Nations, 2024), focusing on applications for quantum technologies. Quantum technologies, leveraging quantum mechanics, offer unprecedented computational power (Ajagekar & You, 2022) and sensitivity (Schleich et al., 2016) that could revolut…

Quantum at a Music Festival: the Impact of an Exhibit about Quantum Science and Technologies on Festival Visitors
Quantum technologies are seen as transformative, with a potential to revolutionize fields like drug discovery and machine learning. Public engagement is crucial to align these developments with societal needs and foster acceptance. This study measured the impact of an exhibit about quantum technologies at the 2024 Lowlands music festival (n = 812). Pre- and post-surveys assessed changes in attitude, concern, interest and subjective knowledge. Results showed an increase in subjective knowledge b…
