Quenching of excitons at grain boundaries in C60 thin films
Exciton lifetimes play a critical role in the performance of organic optoelectronic devices. In this work, we investigate how the presence of multiple rotational domains, and therefore grain boundaries, impacts exciton dynamics in thin films of C60/Au(111) using time and angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (TR-ARPES). We find that films with multiple rotational domains exhibit shorter exciton lifetimes and evidence of exciton-exciton annihilation, even when one domain predominates. Scanni…

“It is a cruel joke that taxpayers who could never dream of sending their own kids to such superbly well-resourced schools are indirectly subsidising those that can,” said Matthew Wade, a sociologist at La Trobe University who has studied the scheme for years.
“We should all be offended by witnessing something so manifestly unfair continue unabated.”

Classical invariants of spiral knots
Torus knots are an important family of knots about which much is understood; invariants of torus knots often exhibit nice formulas, making them convenient and fundamental building blocks for examples in knot theory. Spiral knots, defined and first studied by Brothers et al., are a braid-theoretic generalization of torus knots, but comparatively not much is known about this broader family of knots. We give a general recursive formula for the Alexander polynomials of spiral knots, and from this w…

Finally whole again. Picked up a new refurb bike from revolve reCYCLING, highly recommend for anyone in Sydney.
Pictured in background, my beloved retro aluminium frame steed also from revolve. Alas, time has taken it's toll and the metal of the fear fork fractured. Looking to have it welded back together shortly.

Gefrorene #Korallen im australischen Taronga-Zoo sollen das Überleben des Great Barrier Reefs sichern.
In flüssigem Stickstoff lagern Proben von 34 #Korallenarten, um sie bei Bedarf wieder auszubringen. Die Zeit drängt. Steigende Temperaturen bedrohen bis zu 90 % aller

Coral frozen in time throws lifeline for Great Barrier Reef
Rows of tanks filled with liquid nitrogen sit in temperature-controlled chambers at Sydney's Taronga zoo, cradling parts of the Great Barrier Reef's diverse and magnificent corals frozen in time.

Fundamental Parameters for Central Stars of 103 Infrared Bowshock Nebulae
Stellar bowshock nebulae are arcuate shock fronts formed by the interaction of radiation-driven stellar winds and the relative motion of the ambient interstellar material. Stellar bowshock nebulae provide a promising means to measure wind-driven mass loss, independent of other established methods. In this work, we characterize the stellar sources at the center of bowshock nebulae drawn from all-sky catalogs of 24 $μ$m-selected nebulae. We obtain new, low-resolution blue optical spectra for \nu…

What does making money have to do with crime?: A dive into the National Crime Victimization survey
In this short article, I leverage the National Crime Victimization Survey from 1992 to 2022 to examine how income, education, employment, and key demographic factors shape the type of crime victims experience (violent vs property). Using balanced classification splits and logistic regression models evaluated by F1-score, there is an isolation of the socioeconomic drivers of victimization "Group A" models and then an introduction of demographic factors such as age, gender, race, and marital stat…
