Abstract: The n2EDM experiment at the Paul Scherrer Institute aims to conduct a high-sensitivity search for the electric dipole moment of the neutron. Magnetic stability and control are achieved through a combination of passive shielding, provided by a magnetically shielded room (MSR), and a surrounding active field compensation system by an Active Magnetic Shield (AMS). The AMS is a feedback-controlled system of eight coils spanned on an irregular grid, designed to provide magnetic stability to the enclosed volume by actively suppressing external magnetic disturbances. It can compensate static and variable magnetic fields up to $\pm 50$ $\mu$T (homogeneous components) and $\pm 5$ $\mu$T/m (first-order gradients), suppressing them to a few $\mu$T in the sub-Hertz frequency range. We present a full finite element simulation of magnetic fields generated by the AMS in the presence of the MSR. This simulation is of sufficient accuracy to approach our measurements. We demonstrate how the simulation can be used with an example, obtaining an optimal number and placement of feedback sensors using genetic algorithms.

Landesregierugen versagen beim Ausbau der Ladeinfrastruktur und Scheitern dann an der Vorbildfunktion.
Es kann doch nicht sein, dass NRW so grottig ausgerüstet ist, dass es einen Minister oder auch seine Büroorganisation 2026 überfordert, ein eAuto zu organisieren. Fortschritte beginnen im Kopf, das müsste man als Führungskraft schaffen. Warum schaffen sie das nicht?

The Indian Wells men's doubles draw has been released, and it's a corker. One advantage of the longer Masters 1000 events is that the extra days off tempt some top singles stars to dabble in the doubles.
Alongside some of the world's best doubles teams, the likes of
Novak Djokovic,
Jannik Sinner and
Felix Auger-Aliassime
have joined the line-up. It's been over a year since Djokovic last played doubles, partnering with Fernando Verdasco in Doha.…

Dieses Gewaltmonopol der Polizei ... wie ist das, wenn man Autos ungestraft nutzen kann, um sich mit der Androhung von Gewalt Rechte von anderen, schwächer ausgerüsteten Verkehrsteilnehmer*innen zu erzwingen?

Good Morning #Canada
We still have 20 rivers to highlight in this #CanadaRivers series and a couple of things stand out. We are now listing rivers that are close to 1,000 kms, and despite the size there are many I've never heard of. Add in several million lakes and you gotta agree that Canada is blessed with #Hydrology features.
The Thelon River, called Akilinik in Inuit, is #21 on our list and stretches 904 kms across northern Canada. Its source is Whitefish Lake in the Northwest Territories, and it flows east to Baker Lake in Nunavut, ultimately draining into Hudson Bay. It is fed by a watershed of 142,400 km2 but with a vertical drop of less than 400 metres over its length it is not suitable for hydroelectric development. The Thelon is one of the easiest tundra rivers to paddle, with a steady current, few rapids and no portages. It therefore is a destination for paddling vacations and tourists looking to experience Canada's north.
