Midweek Mexican in #lismore

Hey friends!
The weather forecast today was "a lot of rain". In the morning it had changed to "rain from 3pm".so we decided to do a small hike on the local #blomberg.
In the photos you see a couple of impressions from our 3h activity. It was really the best decision to go out.
We just returned, had a coffee are relaxing on the couch and the rain and thunder …

Propagation, dissipation and breakdown in quantum anomalous Hall edge states probed by microwave edge plasmons
The quantum anomalous Hall (QAH) effect, with its single chiral, topologically protected edge state, offers a platform for flying Majorana states as well as non-reciprocal microwave devices. While recent research showed the non-reciprocity of edge plasmons in Cr-doped $\mathrm{(Bi_xSb_\text{1-x})_2Te_3}$, the understanding of their dissipation remains incomplete. Our study explores edge plasmon dissipation in V-doped $\mathrm{(Bi_xSb_\text{1-x})_2Te_3}$ films, analyzing microwave transmission a…

Gate-Tunable Multi-Band van der Waals Photodetector and Polarization Sensor
A single photodetector with tunable detection wavelengths and polarization sensitivity can potentially be harnessed for diverse optical applications ranging from imaging and sensing to telecommunications. Such a device will require the combination of multiple material systems with different structures, bandgaps, and photoelectrical responses, which is extremely difficult to engineer using traditional epitaxial films. Here, we develop a multi-functional and high-performance photosensor using all…

Dallas Cowboys sign second-round pick Marshawn Kneeland following minicamp https://www.yardbarker.com/nfl/articles/dallas_cowboys_sign_second_round_pick_marshawn_kneeland_following_minicamp/s1_17236_404…

Dallas Cowboys sign second-round pick Marshawn Kneeland following minicamp
The Dallas Cowboys sealed the deal on the last of the 2024 draftees this week, inking rookie Marshawn Kneeland to a four-year deal on Tuesday. Kneeland’s was the final signature the team needed after mandatory minicamp wrapped up last week. The other seven rookies signed their deals before rookie minicamp last month. Per Spotrac, Kneeland is expected to earn $6.79 million over his first four seasons, or just shy of $1.7 million per year. His deal comes with a signing bonus estimated at $1.75 …

Most migrants likely wouldn’t say they’re fleeing climate change.
They’re escaping war, economic uncertainty, social instability and the like.
But climate change multiplies those threats.
It’s not a coincidence that 95% of conflict refugees in 2020 came from global-warming hot spots.
A 2021 study by researchers at the National Autonomous University of Mexico found the movement of low-income farmers from Mexico to the U.S. not only tripled during times of drought but …

It’s far cheaper to help migrants before they leave home
As global temperatures rise, so will the frequency of heat waves, droughts, floods, pandemics, natural disasters, food and water shortages and conflicts over resources.

So, France plans to force the Internet domain name system servers (such as Google's 8.8.8.8) to give wrong answers.
(Imagine what that will do to DNSSEC, or how it will boost DoH and DoT access to DNS.)
Sounds a lot like the Fifth Lateran Council's attempt to limit the publication of books (using excommunication as a tool.)
Compare the following two items (in the second one, search for the heading "On printing books")

The difference between Israel and Hamas is clear, one a democracy (with problems) and the other is a terrorist organisation. At the same time it means Israel's actions should maintain high standards with regard to innocent victims. They seem to be failing in that respect...
