NATO and the drones. This weekend, drones were flying spy missions over a Belgian Air Force base. Said the country's Defense Minister: "A helicopter and police vehicles chased the drone, but lost it after several kilometers.”

Drones spotted above Belgian airbase were ‘spying’ on military planes, defense minister says
Several drones spotted above a Belgian airbase over the weekend were there “to spy” on military fighter jets, the country’s defense minister said Sunday, at a time when European nations are on high alert for airspace intrusions.

Day 9: Eniko Fox
Edit: added a store link for Kitsune Tails.
We're back to videogames, and with another author who's on the fediverse: @…
Fox has developed a few games, but the one that I've played and love is Kitsune Tails. It's a sapphic romance take on Super Mario Bros. 3, and (critically for a platformer) it's got very crisp controls and runs smoothly. I think one thing a lot of indie platforms devs struggle with is getting those fundamentals right, because on the technical side they require very challenging things like optimization of your code and extremely careful input handling that go beyond the basic skills necessary to put together a game. From following her on Twitter and now the Fediverse, it's clear that Fox is a deeply competent programmer, and her games reflect that. Beyond the fundamentals, Kitsune Tails has a very sweet plot with a very cool twist in the middle, and without spoilers, that twist made both the levels and gameplay very difficult to design, but Fox rose to that challenge and put together a wonderful game. Particularly past the plot twist (but in subtle ways before it) Fox is able to build beyond SMB3 mechanics in ways that gracefully complement the original, and the movement in the game ends up being difficult but extremely satisfying, with an excellent skill/speed response allowing for both slower, easier approaches that work for a range of players and high-skill extremely-fast options for those who want to push themselves.
There have been plenty of people I follow with indie game projects that are kinda meh in the end, and I'll still boost them without much comment if they're decent. Fox' work is actually amazing, which is why if you've followed me for a while you'll know I tend to mention it periodically, and which is why she makes this list of authors I respect.

Efficient spin-pumping and spin-to-charge conversion in epitaxial Mn$_3$Sn(0001) noncollinear antiferromagnetic films

Efficient spin-pumping and spin-to-charge conversion in epitaxial Mn$_3$Sn(0001) noncollinear antiferromagnetic films
The generation and control of spin currents are crucial for advancing next-generation spintronic technologies. These technologies depend on materials capable of efficiently sourcing and interconverting spin and charge currents, while overcoming some limitations associated with conventional ferromagnets and heavy metals. Kagome topological antiferromagnetic Weyl semimetals, such as Mn$_3$Sn, present unique advantages owing to their distinct magnetic order and significant Berry curvature-driven t…

An RGB-D Camera-Based Multi-Small Flying Anchors Control for Wire-Driven Robots Connecting to the Environment
In order to expand the operational range and payload capacity of robots, wire-driven robots that leverage the external environment have been proposed. It can exert forces and operate in spaces far beyond those dictated by its own structural limits. However, for practical use, robots must autonomously attach multiple wires to the environment based on environmental recognition-an operation so difficult that many wire-driven robots remain restricted to specialized, pre-designed environments. Here,…

The $R^2$-Higgs inflation: $R^3$ contribution and preheating after ACT and SPT data

The $R^2$-Higgs inflation: $R^3$ contribution and preheating after ACT and SPT data
The $R^2$-Higgs inflation is one of the simplest yet best-fit models consistent with Planck data. The higher spectral index $n_s$ recently reported by the combined cosmic microwave background (CMB) data from the Atacama Cosmology Telescope (ACT), South Pole Telescope (SPT), and Planck, along with baryonic acoustic oscillation data from the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI), disfavors the single-field-like regime of $R^2$-Higgs inflation at approximately $2σ$. Following a doubly covar…

Leading up to the government shutdown on Wednesday,
congressional Republicans and Donald Trump have
repeated misleading claims
that Democrats were trying to pass a resolution that would provide
“free healthcare for illegals”.
It’s become a well-rehearsed refrain fueling GOP lawmakers.
At the White House on Wednesday, the JD Vance said the Democrats’ spending plan
“would have undone” the work of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA)

Reciprocity of Magnetism and Nanostructure Growth
The growth of thin films and nanostructures is a fundamental process for constructing both model-type systems and nanoscale devices, where performance and functionalities can be controlled by the choice of parameters. For magnetic systems the crystal structure, material composition, size, and shape determine already most of the magnetism-related properties. Here, we investigate the reciprocal route, which is controlling nanostructure growth via magnetism. To this end we deposit Co on a uniaxial…
