Here’s how Senate Dems can legally obtain tape of Trump’s n-word comment on The Apprentice
Being convicted of 34 felonies by a New York jury may not even be the most scandalous thing to happen to former President Donald Trump in the 2024 election. A tape apparently exists of him using a racial slur on his NBC game show, The Apprentice, and Senate Democrats may be able to get their hands o...

Resonate-and-Fire Spiking Neurons for Target Detection and Hand Gesture Recognition: A Hybrid Approach
Hand gesture recognition using radar often relies on computationally expensive fast Fourier transforms. This paper proposes an alternative approach that bypasses fast Fourier transforms using resonate-and-fire neurons. These neurons directly detect the hand in the time-domain signal, eliminating the need for fast Fourier transforms to retrieve range information. Following detection, a simple Goertzel algorithm is employed to extract five key features, eliminating the need for a second fast Four…

Curvature induced magnetization of altermagnetic films
We consider a thin film of $d$-wave altermagnet bent in a stretching-free manner and demonstrate that gradients of the film curvature induce a local magnetization which is approximately tangential to the film. The magnetization amplitude directly reflects the altermagnetic symmetry and depends on the direction of bending. It is maximal for the bending along directions of the maximal altermagnetic splitting of the magnon bands. A periodically bent film of sinusoidal shape possesses a total magne…
