Inequities in student access to trigonometry and calculus are often associated with racial and socioeconomic privilege, and often influence introductory physics course performance. To mitigate these disparities in student preparedness, we developed a two-pronged intervention consisting of (1) incentivized supplemental math assignments and (2) AI-generated learning support tools in the form of optional hints embedded in the physics homework assignments.

Optical Control of Fluorescence Spatial Hole Burning Effect in Monolayer WS2
Doping plays a crucial role in both electrical and optical properties of semiconductors. In this work, we report observation, as well as optical control, of fluorescence spatial hole burning effect in monolayer WS2. We demonstrate that the pronounced exciton-exciton annihilation process, in combination with the efficient capture of holes by intrinsic sulfur vacancy defects, induces significant photo-doping effect and eventually leads to fluorescence spatial hole burning.

Just finished reading Dream State by Eric Puchner, and it kind of pissed me off. I think I can see exactly why it might be popular with a certain WASPy liberal "literati" type that probably includes a lot of influential reviewers, but to me, it's points about love & life, despite being much more complex, ring just about as hollow (and harmful) as a Disney movie.
I've got a lot of quibbles, but I think most galling to me was a throwaway line near the beginning about why platonic relationships get so much less glory in media than romantic ones, when so much of the plot proceeds to revolve around a stale agency-free romantic attraction model that's certainly more complex on its face than a Disney romance but which is ultimately just as misleading.
Go read Loveless or really any YA #OwnVoices romance (especially queer) and you'll be learning more & better lessons about the human condition.
