Lenovo Legion Go S review part two: you were the chosen one!
The Lenovo Legion Go S with SteamOS isn’t the revelation we hoped for, but it’s far better than the Windows models. Here’s what our in-depth testing told us.

If you're not against the Trump administration and its full-blown destruction of science and democracy.. Then you are for it. So sad to see that this is apparently the path chosen by #DartmouthCollege, so easily contributing to the "divide and conquer" Trump strategy.

How Dartmouth Became the Ivy League’s Switzerland
Rob Wolfe writes about the policy of “institutional restraint” pursued by Sian Beilock, the president of Dartmouth College, in her dealings with student protests and Donald Trump’s Administration.

So, has anything actually gotten more expensive because of Trump's tariffs? (David Goldman/CNN)

From geometry to cosmology: a pedagogical review of inflation in curvature, torsion, and extended gravity theories
We present a simplified review of inflationary cosmology across various modified gravity theories. These include models based on curvature, torsion, and non-metricity. We explore how scalar fields interact with different geometric quantities and how these interactions affect inflationary dynamics. Key cosmological features such as background evolution, reheating, and observable parameters are discussed. We also examine exotic scenarios inspired by string theory, extra dimensions, and non-local …

Persistence of charge density wave fluctuations in the absence of long-range order in a hole-doped kagome metal
The kagome metals $A$V$_3$Sb$_5$ ($A$ = K, Rb, Cs) exhibit a complex interplay between charge density wave (CDW) order and superconductivity. In this study, we use ultrafast coherent phonon spectroscopy to probe the evolution of CDW order in hole-doped CsV$_3$Sb$_{5-x}$Sn$_x$ across a broad range of compositions ($0 \leq x \leq 0.68$). While thermodynamic and diffraction measurements show long-range CDW order vanishes above $x \approx 0.05$, we observe persistent signatures of CDW fluctuations …

My Apple AirPods Pro 3 Review: Big Improvements, Same Price, No Compromises
They cost the same at a hefty $249, but Apple's third-generation noise-canceling earbuds have improved in all the key areas, including fit, noise cancellation, sound quality and battery life.
