Ukraine plant Stromimporte zu verdoppeln
Nach vermehrt russischen Angriffen auf das Energiesystem in der Ukraine plant das Energieministerium, den Import von Strom zu erhöhen. Die Importe werden voraussichtlich auf knapp 17.000 Megawattstunden (Mwh) gegenüber 7.600 Mwh am Mittwoch steigen, teilte das Ministerium über Telegram mit.
In der Ukraine sind Anfang der Woche zwei Wasserkraftwerke durch einen russischen Drohnenangrif…

Ukraine-Liveblog: ++ Selenskyj entlässt Chef der Leibwache ++
Selenskyj trennt sich nach Aufdeckung russischer Attentatspläne von seinem obersten Personenschützer. Mehrere ukrainische und lettische Fernsehsender übertragen nach einer Hackerattacke ungewollt Teile der russischen Militärparade. Die Entwicklungen zum Nachlesen.

“Professors like me … should be part of the embodied change we seek: turning off our computers and phones, taking all our annual leave, refusing to answer emails out of hours and only scheduling meetings within work hours everyone—including colleagues with caring responsibilities—can make.” #HigherEducation

Awareness in robotics: An early perspective from the viewpoint of the EIC Pathfinder Challenge "Awareness Inside''
Consciousness has been historically a heavily debated topic in engineering, science, and philosophy. On the contrary, awareness had less success in raising the interest of scholars in the past. However, things are changing as more and more researchers are getting interested in answering questions concerning what awareness is and how it can be artificially generated. The landscape is rapidly evolving, with multiple voices and interpretations of the concept being conceived and techniques being de…

qIoV: A Quantum-Driven Internet-of-Vehicles-Based Approach for Environmental Monitoring and Rapid Response Systems
This research addresses the critical necessity for advanced rapid response operations in managing a spectrum of environmental hazards. We propose a novel framework, qIoV that integrates quantum computing with the Internet-of-Vehicles (IoV) to leverage the computational efficiency, parallelism, and entanglement properties of quantum mechanics. Our approach involves the use of environmental sensors mounted on vehicles for precise air quality assessment. These sensors are designed to be highly sen…

Non-existence of free boundary minimal Möbius bands in the unit three-ball
We prove the impossibility of constructing free boundary minimal Möbius bands in the Euclidean ball $\mathbb{B}^3$. This answers in the negative a question proposed by I. Fernández, L. Hauswirth and P. Mira.
