As you may have heard, the russian-populist party #BSW won no parliament seats in Germany's 2025 federal election, as they had failed to reach the 5% threshold by only a few thousand votes.
However, you might be surprised to hear that, in a somewhat Trump-like manner, the party then proceeded to spread myths and sought a recount. Though, next week, parliament will expectedly reject the re…

Rückschlag fürs BSW – Wahlausschuss plädiert gegen Neuauszählung der Bundestagswahl
Bei der letzten Wahl hat das Bündnis Sahra Wagenknecht den Einzug in den Bundestag knapp verpasst. Das BSW legte Beschwerde ein. Nun hat der Wahlprüfungsausschuss getagt und empfiehlt keine Neuauszählung.

Air pollution in EU linked to 182,000 deaths despite progress - report
Air pollution remains one Europe’s deadliest environmental threats despite recent progress.

Bobby Kennedy recently ordered HHS staff to go on a fishing expedition for health threats from offshore wind farms.

What exactly the administration is looking to study remains unclear,
though Bloomberg reports that Kennedy’s team is reviewing the health impacts that electromagnetic frequencies generated by undersea cables might have on nearby fishermen.
(Never mind that Americans are exposed to electrical cables all the time.)
An HHS spokeswoman declined to provide …

GeoPurify: A Data-Efficient Geometric Distillation Framework for Open-Vocabulary 3D Segmentation
Recent attempts to transfer features from 2D Vision-Language Models (VLMs) to 3D semantic segmentation expose a persistent trade-off. Directly projecting 2D features into 3D yields noisy and fragmented predictions, whereas enforcing geometric coherence necessitates costly training pipelines and large-scale annotated 3D data. We argue that this limitation stems from the dominant segmentation-and-matching paradigm, which fails to reconcile 2D semantics with 3D geometric structure. The geometric c…

Expectations for the first supermassive black-hole binary resolved by PTAs II: Milestones for binary characterization
Following the recent evidence for a gravitational wave (GW) background found by pulsar timing array (PTA) experiments, the next major science milestone is resolving individual supermassive black hole binaries (SMBHBs). The detection of these systems could arise via searches using a power-based GW anisotropy model or a deterministic template model. In Schult et al. 2025, we compared the efficacy of these models in constraining the GW signal from a single SMBHB using realistic, near-future PTA da…

Enhanced Arabic-language cyberbullying detection: deep embedding and transformer (BERT) approaches
Recent technological advances in smartphones and communications, including the growth of such online platforms as massive social media networks such as X (formerly known as Twitter) endangers young people and their emotional well-being by exposing them to cyberbullying, taunting, and bullying content. Most proposed approaches for automatically detecting cyberbullying have been developed around the English language, and methods for detecting Arabic-language cyberbullying are scarce. Methods for …

Securing IoT Devices in Smart Cities: A Review of Proposed Solutions
Privacy and security in Smart Cities remain at constant risk due to the vulnerabilities introduced by Internet of Things (IoT) devices. The limited computational resources of these devices make them especially susceptible to attacks, while their widespread adoption increases the potential impact of security breaches. This article presents a review of security proposals aimed at protecting IoT devices in Smart City environments. The review was conducted by analyzing recent literature on device-l…

MetaLogic: Robustness Evaluation of Text-to-Image Models via Logically Equivalent Prompts
Recent advances in text-to-image (T2I) models, especially diffusion-based architectures, have significantly improved the visual quality of generated images. However, these models continue to struggle with a critical limitation: maintaining semantic consistency when input prompts undergo minor linguistic variations. Despite being logically equivalent, such prompt pairs often yield misaligned or semantically inconsistent images, exposing a lack of robustness in reasoning and generalisation. To ad…
