Zama becomes 1st fully homomorphic encryption unicorn with $57M raise
French open source cryptography company Zama today announced a $57 million Series B funding round co-led by Blockchange Ventures and Pantera Capital, bringing Zama’s total funding to over $150 million, and its valuation to north of a billion USD.  Founded by Dr Pascal Paillier and Dr Rand Hindi, the company is building state-of-the-art Fully Homomorphic Encryption (FHE) solutions for blockchain. Fully homomorphic encryption (FHE) allows computations to be performed on encrypted data without…

Regional Frequency-Constrained Planning for the Optimal Sizing of Power Systems via Enhanced Input Convex Neural Networks
Large renewable penetration has been witnessed in power systems, resulting in reduced levels of system inertia and increasing requirements for frequency response services. There have been plenty of studies developing frequency-constrained models for power system security. However, most existing literature only considers uniform frequency security, while neglecting frequency spatial differences in different regions. To fill this gap, this paper proposes a novel planning model for the optimal siz…

A systematic characterisation of canopy density based on turbulent-structure penetration
Turbulent flows over canopies of rigid elements with different geometries and Reynolds numbers (Re) are investigated to identify and characterise different canopy density regimes. In the sparse regime, turbulence penetrates relatively unhindered within the canopy, whereas in the dense regime, the penetration is limited. A common measure of canopy density is the ratio of frontal to bed area, the frontal density $λ_f$. This is effective for canopies with no preferential orientation, but we obser…

While NUL and NULL both refer to numeric values 0, NUL is used in the context of ASCII (a single byte), whereas NULL is used in the context of pointers.
My headcanon is now that NULL is short for "NUL, Long".

Indirect multiphoton scattering between light and bulk plasmons via ultrafast free electrons
Efficient coupling between light and bulk plasmons (BPs) remains a central challenge because of their inherent mode mismatch, limited penetration depth, and pronounced resonant energy mismatch between visible-range photons and BPs. In this work, we demonstrate that ultrafast free electrons can coherently mediate an interaction between electromagnetic fields and BPs at the nanoscale. An electron pulse emitted from the photocathode of ultrafast transmission electron microscope, functions as a qua…

Two-Stage TSO-DSO Services Provision Framework for Electric Vehicle Coordination
High renewable penetration has been witnessed in power systems, resulting in reduced system inertia and increasing requirements for frequency response services. Electric vehicles (EVs), owing to their vehicle-to-grid (V2G) capabilities, can provide cost-effective frequency services for transmission system operators (TSOs). However, EVs that are inherently connected to distribution networks may pose voltage security issues for distribution system operators (DSOs) when supporting TSO frequency. T…
