Scientists Capture Sharpest Images Ever of Sun's Corona
You've never seen the Sun like this.

The discipline with which they are implementing Project 2025 chapter by chapter and point by point is quite impressive

Not only the Chinese! Ukrainian fighters captured mercenaries from Cameroon #shorts: https://benborges.xyz/2025/06/30/not-only-the-chinese-ukrainian.html

While I'm copying yesterday's photos to my computer, I'll just share some more photos from my recent blog post.
I tried to put the bushes at the lake as framing elements into the #photos. I think it worked out quite okay. -- And while we were on this walk I imagined all the time where and how this could look at sunset or with fog.
Maybe I should go there a again a couple o…

I finally finished Houyhnhnm Computing, a wonderful exploration of an alternative approach to programming, and the advantages it would bring.

I’d highly recommend reading it. (At least, chapters 1–9 were great. Chapter 10 is about Urbit, which… ble…

First measurement of neutron capture multiplicity in neutrino-oxygen neutral-current quasi-elastic-like interactions using an accelerator neutrino beam
We report the first measurement of neutron capture multiplicity in neutrino-oxygen neutral-current quasi-elastic-like interactions at the gadolinium-loaded Super-Kamiokande detector using the T2K neutrino beam, which has a peak energy of about 0.6 GeV. A total of 30 neutral-current quasi-elastic-like event candidates were selected from T2K data corresponding to an exposure of $1.76\times10^{20}$ protons on target. The $γ$ ray signals resulting from neutron captures were identified using a neur…

Young forests could help to capture carbon in climate change fight
Young forests regrowing from land where mature woodlands have been cut down have a key role to play in removing billions of tons of atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) and combating climate change, a new study reveals.

Measurement of production branching ratio after muon nuclear capture reaction of Al and Si isotopes
Background: Muon nuclear capture is a reaction between a muon and a proton inside a nucleus through weak interactions. This reaction results in the formation of an excited nucleus, which subsequently de-excites by emitting several particles. Examination of the excited state allows for an investigation of the properties of nuclear excitation and particle emission in highly excited nuclei. Purpose: This study investigates muon nuclear capture of 27Al and 28,29,30Si, focusing on determining the ab…
