Evolutionists Flock To Darwin-Shaped Wall Stain
DAYTON, TN—A steady stream of devoted evolutionists continued to gather in this small Tennessee town today to witness what many believe is an image of Charles Darwin—author of The Origin Of Species and founder of the modern evolutionary movement—made manifest on a concrete wall in downtown Dayton.

This is what moves the Trump effect into the realm of the frightening,
rather than amusing or fascinating.

Enhancing Human-Robot Collaboration: A Sim2Real Domain Adaptation Algorithm for Point Cloud Segmentation in Industrial Environments
The robust interpretation of 3D environments is crucial for human-robot collaboration (HRC) applications, where safety and operational efficiency are paramount. Semantic segmentation plays a key role in this context by enabling a precise and detailed understanding of the environment. Considering the intense data hunger for real-world industrial annotated data essential for effective semantic segmentation, this paper introduces a pioneering approach in the Sim2Real domain adaptation for semantic…

Not really,
because the oceans around reefs aren't deserts

Heard of "Darwin's paradox"? It refers to Charles Darwin's observation that coral reefs are wildly productive despite occurring in nutrient-poor tropical oceans. Reefs are, so the story goes, oases in marine deserts 🏝️... Turns out that 2/3 of these assertions are very wrong... 🌐 🦑🧪 🧵⬇️

Low-loss, fabrication-tolerant, and highly-tunable Sagnac loop reflectors and Fabry-Pérot cavities on thin-film lithium niobate
We present low-loss ($<1.5\%$) and power-efficient Mach-Zehnder interferometers (MZIs) on thin-film lithium niobate. To accurately measure low MZI losses, we develop a self-calibrated method using tunable Sagnac loop reflectors (SLRs) to build cavities. Fabry-Pérot cavities constructed from these fabrication-tolerant SLRs achieve an intrinsic quality factor of $2 \times 10^6$. By implementing thermal isolation trenches, we also demonstrate a $>10\times$ reduction in power consumption for therm…
